Fire in the Mountain





Love is the name given to our experience of the sacred connection between ourselves and all other things, places, times, and beings. Experience it just a little through the mind and body of another person- all their appearances, words, emotions and actions- and you'll feel great love for them. Experience it just a little through the rolling shapes of the land around you, and you'll feel great love for that place. Experience the entirety of your connection to all things, and you'll love everything.

If you can relax secure in the knowledge of your connection while you are alive, death will let you have it all. Death will strip away the blinders and let you have it all. If you can't relax in this truth during life, then death won't be near as grand. We all have to die. Go to your death as far more than you ever imagined you were. Let your death be the ultimate act of love and the experience of love. You can do that by letting your life be the ultimate act of love and the experience of love. Then, there won't be any "life" or "death" at all.

Love is the death of death.
