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?
