Glorious

This little self is not your kingdom.

Arched high above it and surrounding it with love is the glorious whole, which offers all its happiness and deep content to every part.

The little aspect that you think you set apart is no exception.

Love knows no bodies, and reaches to everything created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its meaning.

It is completely impartial in its giving, encompassing only to preserve and keep complete what it would give.

In your tiny kingdom you have so little! Should it not, then, be there that you would call on love to enter?

Look at the desert - dry and unproductive, scorched and joyless - that makes up your little kingdom.

And realize the life and joy that love would bring to it from where it comes, and where it would return with you.
