The most important thing you can do today is to let the love in your heart shine through. If you did not withhold the love in your heart, it would shine blazingly through already. But you have hampered your heart. Somehow you picked up the idea that the heart is to be reserved, even hidden. You picked up the idea that the heart was a poor investment and that you shouldn't listen to it.
Loving from your heart is not something you are meant to think about a lot. The heart is not an invention. It is a natural thing. Are you not learning that natural in the environment is a good way to go? Is natural any less worthy when it comes to your heart? For protection, you built a moat around your heart. The moat didn't really protect you, beloveds. It prevented you. It prevented you from expressing all the love in your heart. It kept you from even acknowledging the vibrant love there. Cramped, your heart mourns for the drying up of its love.
Love cannot operate on cue. Love cannot be separated in compartments. Love is not happy to be rationed. Love is not happy to reveal itself only under certain circumstances. Love doesn't want to be just in the morning, or just at noon, or just at night. It doesn't want to be only at home and not at work. It doesn't want to go through a sieve. It doesn't want to be flattened with a spatula. It wants to be free of restrictions. It wants to be free.
Love unrestricted does not hop on everyone's lap. It just shines its light. Its love may be more personal here or there, yet it beams its light evenly everywhere. You love your child, and your love beams out to every child.
If your love does not beam out, it has been restricted. If your love beams out and does not beam within, it also has been restricted.
Be like a musician of love. Certainly, you can play your horn for an audience. You can play your horn without an audience. In either case, in all cases, your love is on. It never gets turned off to save electricity, not in the daytime, but simply left on. That way your heart doesn't have to remember to turn itself back on. You simply leave it on. The same way you free whales, you free your heart.
The love from your heart that shines is not looking for reward. It is not looking for more love to come back to it. What your heart needs more of is simply to beam its love. Your heart does not count its love. It doesn't call attention to it. It also doesn't hide it.
Let your love so shine before men that everyone may think: "Do I know this person who seems to fill me with the love of his heart? I don't know how I know he is sending me love. I just know love when I see it." And then that person who received your love may unknowingly pass it on, and then another person thinks: "Who is that? I must know him."
This way, very soon, the whole world is filled up to the brim with love. The love isn't polite hugs and kisses. It isn't loud either. It isn't in bright colors. It may not even have been consciously noted. It was simply light shining. Knowingly or not, it was absorbed.
This is much like the way someone can be chewing candy, and the scent of the candy fills up the whole room, except, with your love, you are filling up the whole world. Even if you sit by yourself, you can be filling up the whole world with love. Do you have something better to do, beloveds?
