This pale blue dot is what the Earth looks like from 3.7 billion miles away. Do as we will on this little speck, there is nothing we do here that will have any meaningful consequence to the Universe. Yet here we are… with the opportunity to be loving and kind to ourselves and others; grow a compassionate heart for our friends and enemies; share the joy of the miracle of conscious awareness, laugh, dance, and play; learn to be at peace in the stillness that exists even in the most chaotic storm. There is nothing that needs to be done in order be enlightened; nothing that needs to be acquired or attained; simply call off the search and let go. Recognize the teacher in your heart, they have always been there; they have never judged you; they have never shamed you or made you feel guilty, that can only come from this world of egos, this is to be forgiven. You have a friend that will never leave you, betray you or let you down. Call it by any name you prefer, it is simply another word for love.
