No One Key

Be what is and was and forever will be, there is no key – no one key – to happiness more powerful than love. That includes not only others but yourself. That embraces not only those who are attractive, useful or otherwise in congruence with your idea of a fuller life, but everyone regardless of their place in your life, and everything and anything, regardless of its place in your environment outside a wider consciousness. For only then do you truly recognize God and his presence within every soul, big and small, every living thing and every manifestation we see as our world and so many take for granted. So it’s simple, really. Opening your heart doesn’t mean closing your ears, not having an opposing opinion or in any way diminishing yourself. It means to grow in the way your soul intended. Humbly, but with strength and unending goodwill, fortitude and understanding. And sometimes that takes patience with yourself, not only others.
