In the beginning we look for love, asking God out there to come to us, and then we discover that we are That which we are seeking. Our own life is love unfolding.

Without ethics, love can be blind and without love ethics can be a set of outer-directed rules. Together they are the way to live the deepest truth of the heart.

Until the heart is awakened, compassion and wisdom are only dimly lit potentials, sparks of divinity within our nature waiting for the right conditions to catch fire.

It is our duty to love. It is required of us because it is the fulfillment of our nature, the blossoming of our being. Like an apple tree must bear apples to fulfill its potential, so love is our obligation of becoming.

Love requires us to forgive; it insists on putting others first; it tells us we will be happier giving than receiving, says worry is a waste of time and that we must trust Life. Love requires that we do what we know we should do, regardless of what we want or what others will think or say about it.
