Love Is All We Need

Sometimes in the chaos we call living, the simplicity of how to best live is lost upon us. When I stop, stand back from myself and observe my behaviors it quickly becomes apparent what is wrong if I am "in a mood".
I have forgotten the mantra; "All you need is love" which is as basic and fundamental as any truth ever spoken. In fact it is likely the greatest truth ever spoken.
When I force myself to look past the pettiness, look past MYSELF if you will and embrace whatever/whomever with a sincere wave of love, well it works like a vacuum and quickly sucks up my fixation on SELF and like a giant floatation device I am lifted up - no longer stuck in my muck.
Love is the raft that saves us from stormy waters. Love is the strength that holds us together. Try it on for size.
We don't need a reason to love, all that is necessary is a desire to love and love is all we need.
