Thomas Merton on Love

Love without conditions is about loving the person in their actuality.

Not loving who they *were.

Not loving our ideal *image of them.

Not just loving their *personality.

*Loving the rawness of their now-ness, warts and all.

It ain’t easy.

But isn’t this how we all want to be loved?

5 Things Happy People Do Right

Happiness is an “inside job” that begins with opening to our natural mind and spiritual center.

“We are kept from the experience of Spirit because our inner world is cluttered with past traumas . . . As we begin to clear away this clutter, the energy of divine light and love begins to flow through our being.”
— Thomas Keating
