Teach Only Love

This beautiful testament of love arrived this morning from a friend:

"I am touring in Israel where I have been reading your postings.  Jesus lived and taught here over 2000 years ago.  Organized religion and time have caused this land to be worn, dirty, and always bickering. It's a way of life for them. It's quite shocking.  If you had not taught me the true meaning of life and love—that all is love and that we are part of THAT—I would not be able to connect to this as true Holy Land.

The people have it figured out.  They live together and respect their differences. Seems it's the politicians who have made it so complicated. The people get that they are a part of IT, too.  Nothing about their culture is similar to ours, except their belief in something bigger than ourselves.  A yellow Monarch butterfly flew in front of me as I waded in the Sea of Galilee. No one else saw it, but that's because it was there for me, to reassure me, and remind me that Love is always around me.

I truly understand the woman who asked to get off your list.*  I would have been there 8 or 10 years ago, myself. I so want to let others know that I was healed by a friend in love.  With all this rambling, what I am attempting to do is to say thank you for loving me enough to teach me what God has wanted me to know all along:  I am love, and I have both the ability and the desire to share that love with others."
