If Nothing Else, Love

(L)ove and Connection

It is not enough to love. It is not enough to connect. You must love freely, without possession. You must connect openly, without judgment.

(O)bservation and Awareness

It is not enough to see. It is not enough to hear. You must see beyond what is visible. You must listen for the meaning beyond the words.

(V)oice and Action

It is not enough to speak. It is not enough to act. You must speak the truth, but with compassion. You must act with intention, but without pride.

(E)ffort and Growth

It is not enough to try. It is not enough to follow your heart. You must try with sincerity, not with force. You must purify the heart you follow. It is not enough to grow. It is not enough to give. You must grow in spirit, not in ego. You must give freely, without expectation.

But if nothing else, love.
