Hunk of Burning Love


When is the last time you have been a "hunk of burning love?" No, I don't mean when were you last lost in romantic passion. I'm referring to cherishing yourself passionately.

How long has it been? Why has it been so long?

Dr. Leo Buscaglia would ask people, "Do you adore yourself? I know you love yourself, but do you really adore, cherish yourself?"

Love of self is a path to God and spirit. Larry LeShan in his book, "How to Meditate", describes the second major form of meditation as the "path of emotion." On this path there are three choices - love of God, love of others, love of self. One choice is not better than the others. They are each equally valuable and important.

As you go about your day creating your life and affecting the lives of those you touch with your words, your thoughts, your body, your intention, are you creating from a place of joy and gratitude for your life, your uniqueness, your 'never to be repeated' presence in the world.

It is a simple choice. But one that few of us choose. Can you choose it for yourself today?
