Sorrow and desire are married. When desire leaves, sorrow cannot remain. We often cling to desire, thinking it will lead us to happiness, without realizing that it brings sorrow with it.

We are used to moving from the fulfillment of one desire to the next. It seems nearly impossible to imagine a life free from desire. But this is an excellent place to begin. Imagine what it would be like to be free of want, to live in the spontaneous flow of what is.

For a relationship to thrive we must give our time and attention to it and make ourselves available for intimacy, those moments when the light of love is revealed. Our relationship with God is no different. Meditation is one way to cultivate intimacy with God.
