Here we are. You and me and everyone. All together on this astonishing journey of life. Each one of us is a unique expression of the mystery of being. Each one of us is an imperfect human being. And when we feel the deep love we can embrace ourselves and each other as we are. We can connect in love and care for one another. We can hold each other by the hand and walk each other home. When I am deep awake it’s obvious that love is what really matters in life. I recently came across a wonderful quote from Professor Jacques Decour that really captures the importance of love in a very inspiring way. He was executed by the Nazis at the age of 32 for his activity in the French resistance in the Second World War. As he was waiting for death he wrote a beautiful letter to his family, which is extraordinarily moving. Here’s what he said: “Now each of us is preparing to die …We are preparing, thinking about what is to come, about what is going to kill us without our being able to do anything to defend ourselves … This is truly the moment for us to remember love. Did we love enough? Did we spend hours a day marveling at other people, being happy together, feeling the value of contact, the weight and the worth of hands, eyes, bodies? Do we yet really know how to devote ourselves to tenderness? Before we pass away in the trembling of an earth without hope, it is time to become, entirely and definitely, love, tenderness, and friendship, because there is nothing else. We must swear to think of nothing anymore but loving, opening our souls and our hands, looking with our best eyes, clasping what we love tightly to ourselves, walking free from anxiety, and radiant with affection.’ P.245 The Mystery Experience Find out more about Tims books here : themysteryexperience/publications/
