Eternal is the journey of the Soul.  It does not end through the valley of life as well as the valley of death - it is all but one journey and Kahlil Gibran poet, artist and philosopher shares beautifully 'life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one'.  Learning to love every part of ourselves is the epitome of one's journey and as we love ourselves in wholeness we then love others fully and wholly.  Gibran quotes 'the erect and the fallen are but one man standing in the twilight between the night of his pigmy-self and the day of his god-self'.

Love is an inside job.  As much as we feel our search for the meaning of life is in the external - relationships, careers, success, fulfilment and so forth,  our light that we seek is within us.  As this light is ignited within, so to will our essence and being.  To love ourselves unconditionally is to love others unconditionally also.  The first relationship we must cherish is our relationship to our self, by honouring and looking after ourselves.  As we do this, we are honouring the 7.5 billion other individuals on this planet also - we are a mirror of each other whether we are in favour of this concept or not.  Boundless, limitless, and unconditional is love.

Love is reflected in Mother Nature and the vast pulsating Universe and is ever present in our lives to teach and nurture us.  Divine Love is everywhere from the tiniest grain of sand to the depths of the ocean floors and most importantly it resides in each and everyone of us too.  We all have a key role to play in this journey of life, not just a few.  We are a part of the this universal orchestra and once we follow the wisdom of our Soul, we will play in tune to life and its magical unfolding.

How beautiful is the meaning defined in Kahlil Gibran's name - 'Kahlil' meaning 'the chosen one, the beloved friend' and 'Gibran' means 'the healer or comforter of souls'.

What jigsaw piece do you bring to the world? We need 'you' to complete 'us' as a whole for we are one synchronous heart beat.  Journey internally, find 'you' as love begins on the inside.
