Love

one has to accept a simple fact: Love – of God and of others – shows us the way. our defects, our dangerous depths, our suppressed hatreds, our moments of weakness and desperatin – all are unimportant. if what we want to do is heal ourselves first, so that then we can go in search of our dreams, we will never reach paradise. if, on the other hand, we accept all that is wrong about us – and despite it, believe that we are deserving of a happy life – then we will have thrown open an immense window that will allow love to enter. little by little, our defects will disappear, because one who is happy can look at the world only with love – the force that regenerates everything that exists in the universe.

we are not alone. the world is changing, and we are a part of the transformatin. the angels guide us and protect us. despite all the injustice in the world, and despite the things that happen to us that we feel we don’t deserve, and despite the fact that we sometimes feel incapable of changing what is wrong with people and with the world, love is even stronger and it will help us to grow. only then will we be able to understand the stars and miracles.
