A Return To Love

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn.
The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts.
Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.

~ Marianne Williamson ~

this is one of my favorite quotes. I don't really remember how I got it.
But it stuck to my mind. Just as Dalai Lama stated, there are only two fundamental emotions that underly all other emotions we may know and experience. They are either LOVE or FEAR.
Marianne's reminded us what we originaly have, what comes from within.
And what comes from without. With that, how we can choose whether we should take it in, avoid it or simply let it go...
