Invite Love into Your Life

 

(Excerpted from two letters written in 2010–2012):

Make your home an ashram

for love, laughter, light and play.

Love adults as if they were children.

Play with children—

they are such great teachers.

Play with elders, too,

as if they were still in the prime of youthful exuberance.

Invite love into your life.

Our experience of today is the result of all our past thoughts, words

and deeds.

Since we can’t change the past, complaining about the state of the world

today is just a waste of time and emotion.

Tomorrow, however, will be the result of our present thoughts, words

and deeds.

And we can control what we think, say and do right now, and thus create a

better world

— or a worse one.
