ALL SEARCHING IS THE SEARCH FOR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

No matter what we seek—success, security, belonging, enlightenment—at the core of it all is a longing for love. Not just any love, but an unconditional embrace that tells us, You are enough. You are whole. You are held in the vastness of existence itself.

From the moment we are born, we learn to search. We search for approval, for validation, for the right relationship, the perfect path, the ultimate truth. We chase after achievements, experiences, and even spiritual awakening, hoping that something out there will finally fill the quiet ache within.

But what if the longing itself is not wrong? What if it is simply the echo of a deeper truth—the truth that love is already here, waiting to be recognized? The problem is not the search itself, but the belief that what we seek is outside of us, just beyond reach, requiring effort or worthiness to attain.

Unconditional love is not something we earn or find—it is the fabric of existence itself. It does not ask for perfection, nor does it demand we be anyone other than who we are in this very moment. It holds our flaws, our fears, our wounds, and even our searching with the same vast embrace.

When we stop searching for love out there and begin to turn toward the longing itself, we may discover that love was never missing. It was simply veiled by the mind’s endless seeking. Love is not a destination, but the ground upon which all seeking takes place.

And when we truly see this—when we allow ourselves to rest in that embrace—perhaps the search is over, and life itself becomes the expression of the love we once sought.

If you could just follow love’s quiet voice
As it whispers through the noise
It would show you the way
Don’t imagine it’s not there
It’s there, you just cant hear it yet.

----------------------

A closed door
Lets in very little light
The same is true
With a closed mind.

-----------------------

Many want their spirituality
To be shiny and bright
And all high vibration
And are very disappointed
When they come face to face
With darkness and shadows
And the density of the swamp.

-------------------------

I stopped trying to change myself
And started loving myself instead
In that love change happened naturally
All I had to do was keeping loving whatever arose.

--------------------------

Open your heart
To your own suffering
And in that opening
Grace will brush its feather
Upon your teary cheek
We diminish grief
As though it were a problem
But really it is a doorway
To our beauty
And humanity.

--------------------------

Carry all your burdens with grace
As though tending to them with great love
And those very burdens 
Will feed you in hidden ways.

--------------------------

I saw a crack in the veil
There was a light shining through
Like a million suns
Inside that light I saw a beauty
I had never seen
I followed that incandescent beauty
Until it dissolved into me

The light is always trying break through.

---------------------------

Become so wide open
You have no point of view
Yet see everything.

-------------------------

Can you tell me who you are
I think you cannot
For you are the mystery
Cloaked in form
And all attempts at description 
Ultimately fall short
And you will fall into silence
But that silence
Will tell me you who are.
