Here is a simple invitation I place before you, though its simplicity may be more profound than it first appears, and its pursuit more vast than any journey you have ever taken.
I invite you to spend the rest of your life being in love. Not loving merely as an act, nor seeking love as something to possess, but abiding as love,
becoming its quiet embodiment, its effortless witness, its joyful servant.
And I ask you, With all the sincerity I can summon, have you ever had anything better to do?
In all your striving, in all your searching, have you found anything else that endures? In truth, there is no other work worth doing,
no other treasure worth keeping, no other pilgrimage worth making. Everything you seek, peace, freedom, meaning, even God,
is already contained within the life that is lived in love. It is not elsewhere.
It is not after some long preparation. It is here now, always. The invitation is simple. The living of it will ask everything, but what it gives is everything.
Come then.
Come into love.

In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness. Nigel  TEA AND ZEN - MAIN LIBRARY
