"I honor the place in you where we are all one."
There is a kinder, gentler, more loving way of life. It is a life free of judgment, prejudice and condemnation. It is a life where we see in each other ourselves, our children and our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. If we can get beyond judgmental labels and categories that have so organized our world, it would transform our planet, not just with us humans, but with every living creature and our very environment.
It is that simple. But it is not that easy. We have been conditioned over a lifetime to criticize, find fault and condemn. The first step is with ourselves. Being loving to ourselves means not judging, accepting ourselves as we are, not condemning any part of us that does not live up to some "ideal" or someone's idea of the way we "should" be.
As within, so without. If we can treat ourselves with kindness, compassion and love, that is what we give away; that is what we have to give away. Whether or not it is returned, it is our nature. It is living with an open heart. Trust in that.
