You are the stream.

Why do you seek water, when you are the stream?

-Rumi

Love dwells within each atom and tumbles along with the wind. It created us and everything else. It nourishes and sustains all that is seen and all that is not. It defines us.

Utterly inseparable it is, from what we are.

In the presence of Love, we forever aspire to do better, to be better. With Love, life spirals ever upwards into infinity.

Love attracts unto itself. The more we live it, eat it, drink it, breathe it, feel it, radiate it, and swim in its light the more we experience it all around us. Love is not something we generate; it is something we channel from the surrounding ether, which emanates ultimately from our source. We have a responsibility to remain a good channel, to not block the pipeline with thoughts counter to this energy.

It’s true that Love is something we feel. But more importantly, it is something we are. It gives support and purposeful intelligence to life; it gives context. It is the framework upon which everything in nature and everything throughout the Universe is built.
