Lives take on a multitude of forms. Many of them contain many things, have lots of bells and whistles, are complicated and fast paced. Others are simple, uncomplicated and have a kind of space that is associated with basic austerity in their plain-ness, not to be confused with virtue per sé. Then there are those that strike a resemblance of a balance between these two, with characteristics of both.
What is a well lived life? Surely there are many true answers to this question. For me, I think one of our greatest tasks is to really love the self, our own selves, totally. That means coming to a real sense of peace about the reality of who you are and loving that self through all the changes that it undergoes through the living, evolving process. Loving ourselves through fear and through loss and learning vast amounts about life itself through those experiences that bring us face to face with the core of ourself, with life, with the Unnameable--the Mystery of it all.
When all the detritus is filtered out, certainly what must remain are the beacons that shine through:-- the deep, powerful, interdimensional Orbs of Love that we have made contact with, brushed across, embraced for nanoseconds yet felt like eternity. These are the things that remain when the pointless is left behind. These are what we cling to. The Power called Love: not the personifications of that love, but the Love itself. Nameless. Omnipresent. All Inclusive. Whole. All Powerful. Love. The Source of sources who has no location, who is everywhere. Soul Source. Alpha and Omega and Alpha again.
We have the opportunity, I think, as human beings to inspire and share the truth of this beauty with oneanother. For in the end it is these things that will matter. It is these things that will shine through. The rest of it all will not even be a blip on the radar...and we each know it.
A life worth living is a life that inspires the love in each of us to shine. We are but mirrors for each other, and that is where the love, the real love of oneself comes in. For what can I share with you, but only that which I have or know? It's easy to scare yourself unto death, it's the loving yourself unto life that takes focus and vision. It's the love that we will remember.
Love is what we live for---the real kind. It's what makes life worth living.
