Last night the world dropped into freeze frame. All became still and calm. For a brief time I felt cleansed and shielded from all the negative forces that exist in the world today. Sitting on the beach at sunset by an open fire and surrounded by those who are dear to me, I understood on a cellular level, what was meant by the phrase "all the world is love." All of nature conspires to help us understand this simple truth. It patiently invites us to part the curtain of illusion that we are separate from all that surrounds us.
Sitting with each other around the fire, we spoke of simple things; of stars and sunsets, of gardens and weddings, of the joys of seeing our children happy, and the sadness of seeing our friends in pain.
It reminded me that it is in these moments we connect to the mystery of life; that we connect to each other and to the love that is the glue that binds the universe. As the Beatles sang, "all you need is love."
