I was asked recently what inspires me to write? The first thing that popped in to my head is that people inspire me. People in all their crazy mixed up emotions. Then after I thought about it, love and compassion inspire me. Not just the existence or demonstration of love but the lack of it. I write about love that is pure without an agenda and I write about pseudo love that has an agenda, mission of greed or need for control in the name of love.
Love is actually quite easy, that is if we remove the conditions. You cant make people really love you‚ all you can do is love them with no expectations and no conditions. The strange thing is, what you give comes back. It often isn’t how you thought it would be however it does come back. If you can live with what it really is you will not feel so alone or incomplete.
If I can shine a light on the fact that the giving of pure unconditional love is the answer to most of our problems, deepest hurts and relationship issues in life, then I will continue to write.
Believe in the radical power of love and here’s a thought, love everyone unconditionaly. Period.
