Everything Just Wants to be Loved




"Whatever you don't like, whatever you reject, whatever you try to get rid of, sticks to you.  It bugs you and pursues you.  It flies right in your face.  The reason is because everything in the universe wants to be loved.  It's such a simple principle!  All creation wants to be loved and appreciated and included in life.  Any quality or energy you are not experiencing or expressing in your life comes after you until you accept it and integrate it."  -from Awakening by Shakti Gawain
Simply stated, 

Everything wants to be loved.  
Everything wants to be treated with kindness.  
Everything wants to be accepted.  
Everything wants to express freely.
Everything wants to be just what it is.

Everything!  You, me, all the people around the globe, the trees, flowers, animals, rivers, oceans, rocks, stars - all of creation.  

The angry boss just wants to be loved.
The friend who seems to be sad all the time just wants to be loved.
The guy who cut us off in traffic just wants to be loved.

We all want to feel included.  We want to express who we are and be loved just for being who we are.

The next time I get irritated with someone, may I send him love.
The next time I get upset about something not going my way, may I send love to all involved.
When I notice an ache or pain creeping up again, may I love each and every cell in my body.
Whenever I am just bothered by the details of life, may I remember to embrace, love, and be kind to myself and all other creations.

May I accept all that comes to me today.
May I love with all my heart.
