Why do anything, if not for the joy of it?  So you must work?  Why not do it for the joy of it?  We are speaking of alignment.  Your deepest essence is joy.  Joy is what results when you recognize that all is connected … that at your deepest level you are the connection.  This is why connecting with nature and with the heart of seemingly-separate others feels so good.  You are home.  So, as you work and as you play, as you go throughout your day, align, align, align we say, and find the Joy in every way.

Yes, suffering is part and parcel of being human, but it is temporary.  After the initial waves subside, you can choose to find your True Nature, for you are far more than “only human.”  

You are so very loved.
