Quote of the Day – January 27 2012

““But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to stretch out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if that means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”
― Paulo Coelho

What would life be like if we approached everything that came our way as if it were for the first time? How can we cultivate that form of observation? Is it a matter of perspective or point of view. Life experience does resemble snow flakes in that nothing ever seems to happen exactly the same way twice. Even when the experience is the same, we, either in outlook, mood, or experience are not quite the same person we were the last time it happened. Of course this type of talk can cause great anxiety in neophobes (people for whom the new causes great anxiety, fear or both).

Namaste, G
