The Underlying Sweetness of Life

Last week, as I was driving down to Agape for a puja, I was reminded that every expression in life is just an expression of love. Sometimes, that expression comes out wrong. Sometimes, the expression is misinterpreted on the receiving end. I guess that is the human part of the equation.

There is always an underlying sweetness to life.

Our natural state is love and openness. That love and that openness live within us. If we choose to embrace our natural state, our lives become sweeter and richer than we could possibly imagine. With each inhalation, we breathe in the love of the Universal Mother of us all.

Submitting or surrendering willingly to life, to each lesson, each opportunity for growth leads to more love, more joy and more to celebrate. I am still surprised each time I am confronted with a lesson. I think that the Universe gives us the opportunity go to backwards instead of forward...it is up to us to decide which way we are going to go. The Art of Living is a practice. We can find our edge and play there...
