I am Love.

I am Love.

There's an undoing to it all. A moment when we can't carry it anymore. An instant when the load has become disastrously heavy. Something has to change. I have to change. 

But where to begin?! So often we look at the external: the job, the people around me, my friends, my family... Reacting to it all, becoming tight, ridgid, hard.

But what if instead we turned inward? Who am I, truly, on the inside. What feeds me? What drives me? What are my desires?!

My answer:

LOVE

What feeds me: love.
What drives me: love.
What are my desires: love.

And while this can seems so sappy, so "yogi", so uuuggghhhhhhh... Know that you were born from love and you will die in love. Somewhere in between we get confused. But the "L" word can be so enGROSSing. Too difficult to even say outloud. So instead of love, I chose/choose kindness- first for others, but ultimately for myself. This is why I end all my classes with:

Kind thoughts.
Kinds words.
Kind heart.

Because ultimately it's a lesson in:

Loving thoughts*.
Loving words*.
Loving heart*.

*To thyself.

So go ahead love, and Love.
