Unconditional Love - The Universal Cure?

Nobody wants a teacher

that talks down to them

that analyzes them like

a rat in a laboratory experiment.

Rather, what we all want and need

is to be accepted exactly as we are

in our reality of this moment - to be seen

even if it's not pretty or not wanted.

If someone has a cancer,

then allow them to express their pain,

don't look away - meet their eyes

and let their pain enter into you.

Know that cancer is a sign of healing

not something to get rid of or to fix

Don't offer things not being asked for

but rather listen or ask them what they need.

When you can look into a face of pain

and feel it fully and not want to run

then you are centered and can ask questions

forgetting your own agenda, you forget yourself.

Live gives us opportunities every day

to express ourselves unconditionally

But unconditional never happens

when we have reason for our doing.
