I was writing with a friend recently about trying to find a way to love all beings, and she sent me this quote:
“I leave you free to be yourself: to think your thoughts, indulge your tastes, follow your inclinations, behave in ways that you decide are to your liking.”
When I read that it made me think something like, “I love you (your spirit), and I acknowledge that you’re a separate being here on Earth. I can’t control you, I can’t make you act in a way that I want you to behave (i.e., in a non-harmful way), so I just have to let you be, so you can work out your own karma.”
For some reason that gives me hope that there is a way I can love all beings (not just the good ones).
Namaste, Al
