Currently featuring “The Art of Living”
By Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh
“When we fall in love,
we have a tendency to want to grasp and keep hold of the one we love.
We want them to stay the same forever, and
we want them to love us forever.
Today,
they say we’re attractive and they love us, but tomorrow,
will they still say “I love you”?
When we love someone,
we’re always afraid of losing them.
Our mind is always wanting to hold on to something permanent,
something everlasting.
We want to stay a certain way,
and we want our loved one to stay a certain way.
But that’s not possible.
We are both changing all the time.
When we can embrace impermanence,
we allow each other to change and grow.
From one day to the next,
we are neither the same nor different.
And this is good news.
In this moment
you are new and your loved one is new,
and that is why you are both free.

Zenfully Quool Quotes Quommentary

Those that seek love, tend to be looking for someone to ‘complete’ them.
Which is like chasing a tail…
you’ll never catch what you already have because
you’ll forever be looking in the wrong places.
Each being created
has an inherent desire to connect with something that feels
larger than how they experience their life,
all life and the world around them…
as they perceive it.
At the deep end of a Spiritual Path…
Once one has learned the spiritual psychologies, philosophies
and experienced profound ‘life Practices’…
And then,
Surrendered the Ultimate Surender…
The surrender to our True Nature… Love…
That is when one finally feels complete and whole…
No more searching and seeking is required
to abide and then become ‘Absorbed‘ in this ‘Absolute’ ‘Natural State’.
The love of a beloved,
often offers a taste of this experience of ‘Love’.
In the right relationship,
Each will loose track of where ‘they’ end… and the other begins.
They become…
At one with each other.
The deeper they become at one with each other,
the more they become ‘at one’ with all that is.
And that…
Is the experience of our True Nature of Love and
the Ultimate Reality of our ‘Non-Dual existence.
Naturally, we’d like this to never end…
But,
The more we chase it… the deeper our attachment becomes…
The more we start to see the flaws in the other.
But,
When we see the impermance of every aspect of our life,
all life and everything in the world ‘we’ live in…
The easier it is to naturally find
Grace, Peace, Acceptance, Gratitude and Appreciation
for all that is…
