Via Ram Dass: Words of Wisdom - October 1, 2017


What love has been for me has been the whole ‘heart’ part of my journey. I have gone from having special people that I loved and others that I hated to realizing that everybody I meet is the ‘beloved’ in drag. Everybody is ‘the one’ and my job is to see through the story line their mind is caught in, not to reject the story line, not to judge it, it’s not better or worse than my storyline. It’s about not getting caught in it, and being able to see what is behind it.

It’s behind the soul, and because we can’t talk about it, touch it, smell it, taste it, we tend to think it doesn’t exist, and yet here we are - that’s the beautiful perplexity of it all.
