Everything Is God

What if I told you that none of this is real? Not even the good bits. You know that the bad is only perception, but what I told you the only thing real is love. And not only romantic love, which can be real or already recognized even in human terms to be more of an agreement, but true love of others you don’t know, trees you’ve never touched and animals you’ve never spoken to. Yes, everything is God. And within everything and everyone is the capacity for love. For everything that goes beyond what you see with your eyes, and into a sphere you may only get a glimpse of with your eyes tightly closed. (Yes, even the moth that ate your sweater – we don’t make exceptions here.)
