Today I offered with this thought ” I offer this tobacco to a universe of love, and to find that universe within myself.”
I also thought of my incredible tattoo and the last line in Contact by Carl Sagan, which reads ” For small creatures such as we, the vastness is only bearable though love.”
If we act from a place of love-for ourselves, for life, for others, then we really will find the things that truly matter and sustain us.
