Love – The Gift of Peace
by Peter Russell

Love is not something you do,

Love is a way of being.

And more than that.

It is simply being,

Being with another person,

however they may be.

Holding no judgments,

having no agendas,

No desire to control,

No need to prove your love,

No intrusion upon their soul.

Nothing but a total acceptance of their being,

Born of your acceptance of yours.

Unconditional love is not unconditional approval

of another’s actions, irrespective of their effects

upon others. It is unconditional love of the being

behind the action. It does not depend upon how

a person thinks, feels, or behaves. It does not

pause to assess whether or not another is worthy

of affection. It recognizes that beneath all our

various appearances and activities we all want to

feel loved. In this we are all united.

Unconditional love recognizes that we are all to some

extent, caught in the belief that our inner satisfaction

is determined by what goes on around us. We all feel the

need for security, control, recognition, approval, and

stimulus to varying degrees, we all feel threatened from

time to time by things that seem to stand in the way of

our fulfillment; and we can all make mistakes.

Love & Light,
