I've known some amazing beings in my lifetime. Family, friends, pets, coworkers, significant others, a little squirrel that used to chuck acorns at my dogs. One day, like a bottle to the forehead, it hit me: they're all amazing. Every body on this planet is a unique expression of life. I needn't know each being to grasp this truth. And that's when it really hit me: I can actually love every living thing. Whether I choose to or not, the capacity to love without condition exists within me.

This understanding has transformed my entire experience. It's filled me with reverence and a profound sense of awe.
It's enabled me to peer past 'my' little perspective to glimpse, however slightly, the incomprehensible singularity of the universe. It's helped me see with resplendent clarity that what we call 'love' is actually oneness expressed. As this love can never be lost, I am free to live with nothing to lose.

Caring for the world without a care in the world—this is a larger peace. Bound by nothing, embracing everything, awaiting anyone willing to meet the truth that beckons in her or his own heart.
