I remember having a very interesting and enlightening conversation with my youngest son when he was four years old. We were looking through one of those Aesop fables stories and I thought, “Hmm, I wonder what a four-year-old’s definition of love might be. So I said, what do you think love is?” And he looked at me with these beautiful black eyes and said, “Love is what makes the heart move’. I thought that answer was better than something I could come up with, and I said, “So why is love something that makes your heart move?” And he said, “I love you, Omma, and I want to hug you and I want to kiss you and I want to be with you. And my heart moves me to just want to be with you.” I thought, what an incredibly beautiful answer.......... Injin

The Whole Truth
"Good for Nothings" moralize & judge others. Don't they know, the truth is already in all of us. We need to bring it out. Remind each other. Assist each other in our re-ordering. Shattered hearts haphazardly assemble their affections and struggle in the contradictions of that overlaying mosaic.
So I thought..... What is the most amazing thing? Is it the Tag Mahal, or the structure of a snowflake?
Is it a meadow in the mountains at sunset, or geese one with their mates, crossing the sunrise.
Or is it a new born child's eye.
I have been a searcher, dreamed amazing dreams and had beautiful visions. I walked in the spirit world............................ but I have never been as fulfilled, mystified and close to heaven as my first look in my child's eyes. From where did this miracle arrive?
I see.... then as he said, the most sacred thing must be the relationship of a man and woman. The Holy Palace, where they meet, is the wellspring of New Eternal Lives. Forgive me, I should have know from the beginning. The tapestry of my affections were confused and contradicted that deepest True Love.
But now it's clear...
