What is your relationship to life and love right now? Love (to me) does not mean romantic love, although that's one way that we conjure love. We're having a romance with life, or we can be. As we all know, there are days when you do not feel like you're having a romance with life; you can feel at odds with it or like you're in a battle with it. But what we all have to (to the best of our ability) work to come back to when and where we can is, "What is my relationship to feeling alive and being open to love showing up for me in my life?" Whether it's through the love of a friend, the smile of a stranger, or being able to see the beauty in nature, what is your relationship to life and love right now?
There are so many things that will seduce us away from who we are in the world, that will pull us out of that fundamental spiritual truth that no matter what your faith or no matter what your beliefs are on the planet, we should all be having a relationship with our relationship to life and love and keep an eye on that; to notice when we've lost our way, to notice when we've been really down in the dumps or depressed for too long. And then we have to go, "Oh, I have no relationship with life and love right now, apart from feeling depressed and shut down. So, I should take care of that. I need to go and take care of this and bring myself back."
