Time is not of the essence. Love is. Yet consider even the bugaboo of time as a gift. Take it for what it is, a surface rendering. Consider time an appetizer, enjoy it, and then get on and love the real food.
Time makes great demands on you. It makes you hurry, taking away enjoyment. It pressures you. Time has been like a slave-driver, and you have been obedient to time. Just as easily as you set your watch to time, set your heart to love.
It is not that the heart needs to be set. It’s just that you need to notice your heart. Every time you wonder what time it is, remember your heart. Remember it beats within you for a purpose. You have a heart of love that tick-tocks. The beat of your heart is more regular than your clock. A clock tells time. Your heart tells love.
Your heart is an orchestra conductor. And it is also the wand in the hand of the orchestra conductor. It is also the notes played. It is also all the instruments. What an instrument your heart is.
Make your heart happy. Let it love for all it’s worth.
Let love be a bandit of time. Set your life to love. Have love uppermost in your mind. Anything else is a waste of time. Even though time is illusion, it can be wasted, yet that is irrelevant to the waste of a heart.
Splurge with love. Take it with you everywhere. Remember your heart as often as your wallet, as often as your keys. Let your heart be remembered as often as you put on lipstick, as often as you tie your shoes, wash your hands. Let love accompany every step you take, and every pause you make.
Surrender to the love in your heart. Become a servant to love. Let love rule. Let it be the rule of the day. Let love have its say. Let love have its way. Let love co-exist. Let it sit beside you as well as within you.
With every click of the clock, love. Your heart is the metronome of love. Hear it.
What would life be without your love?
You call floods and fires and droughts catastrophes. An unused heart is a catastrophe. Everyone has a heart to be used. Never mind what caused a drought in your heart. Moisten it now. Drink the water of love. Eight glasses a day.
Nurture the love in your heart. Culture it. Heretofore, you have bound it up. You have associated love with persons and things. Now associate love with the glory of love itself. The love in your heart needs nothing from the outside. Develop an inner trigger that shoots out love from your heart. What you must have is the giving of your love. The receipt of it is very nice, but the giving of it is nicer.
Giving love smoothes you out, and it soothes your soul. The soul is at the center of your heart. It is surrounded by your heart. The expression, heart and soul, is no accident. Make your soul happy. Fill your heart. Let the love in your heart overflow. Let it cover the earth like a spring rain. The ground and the Planet Earth can never have too much of your love. They will soak up all of it. The love you give will rise up like mist, and you will breathe love.
Beloveds, when all is said and done, all you have is the love in your heart, and this is the same as to say My all-encompassing love for you.
