You've got it all wrong. You didn't come here to master unconditional love. That's where you came from and that's where you'll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of messing up. Often. You didn't come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human.
(Courtney A. Walsh)
How do we square a circle? It is impossible, unless, of course, all we have to do is to describe a single point in time. We can do that quite well with our linear tool set - a tangent does that perfectly well - as long as we understand that it only works for the timeless moment we are in, the holy Now. Being human automatically implies that we will never reach the infinite but that doesn't prevent us from seeing and experiencing the perfect moment in time with both feet on the ground. Spirituality is the art of seeing and feeling, and yes, every moment you can be holding Her hand.
How do you generate the thirst for unconditional love? It is the imperfection that makes you long for this perfection. It is the realization that you are a sinner deep down inside that makes you fall on your knees when you finally touch a saint. Never look down on the tainted force inside of you, consider it your fountain of energy instead. Spirituality is the art of falling in love with what is. Every moment can be perfect once you are ready for it. No matter what your motivation may have been in the past, the moment you stand next to Her the world is whole and you can finally enjoy what is.
