Love is the product


Love is the product
It isn't something to buy
It can't be forced
It can't be demanded
Love is the product 
Love is the result
of doing the hard work

What's the hard work? 
digesting our experiences
Both good and bad
Each experience of our life is the work
We integrate what we need to grow and 
release what does not serve
 and
Love...is the product

We can't skip over the work and pretend
it's love. 
We aren't flawed if we feel anger,
fear, shame, guilt.... these are valuable emotions
that we can't run away from
Digest these too
learn the lesson being offered by each emotion
and then release them

Love is the product
It's the result
Love is what comes when we learn to digest ALL 
human experiences, the light and the darkness

Love is the product
it's not all cotton candy, fairies and unicorns
Love is result of facing fear head on 
Love is the result of fighting the righteous fight
Facing the darkness is sometimes required

Meditation/yoga/prayer/self-inquiry 
these are the practices by which our experiences are digested
Love is the product 

Don't despair if you aren't feeling Love....
Focus on doing the work and remember
Love is the product
