More Love
We talk too little about love, as if love were just a personal and secret matter, a closed circle in which only a select few are allowed. As if love were fragile and needed to be preserved, as if its quantity were limited.
But the opposite is true: love is an inexhaustible force, without limits or restraint. Love is not a closed circle, it's what surrounds us. It's everywhere, in you, in each of us.
Love is not a rare resource to be saved. It is an abundance to be distributed, available to everyone and to which everyone is entitled. If you think you don't have love within you, or that you're not entitled to it, it's an illusion. Because it is there, simply waiting to be recognized. I will explain all of this to you soon.
This newsletter is the first in a monthly series to stay in touch with you. I found the date appropriate for this celebration.
Sending you lots of love.

Where is Love?
It’s more or less easy to admit that, no matter what we say, no matter what we do, what we desire at the most intimate level of our being, is to be loved.
We can seek this love outside ourselves and feed on it as if we were quenching our thirst at a fountain — but what happens when the water stops flowing? Or we can recognize that love already exists within us, deeply rooted in ourselves.
If love weren’t already present within us, we wouldn’t feel any suffering. We wouldn’t experience emotions such as sadness, anger, or fear.
It's because love already exists within us, because a part of us "holds on" to us, that we feel these emotions. Behind every frustration, tear, or disappointment lies in reality, a manifestation of this love.
When we feel a so-called “negative" emotion, it's this love within us reacting.
This love carries the following message: "I love you and I don't want you to hurt." Hear this message.
Recognizing that love already resides within us allows it to grow, to grant it the space it deserves so it can flourish.
By making room for it, by listening to its message — by listening to all the love within you — you take care of it, you take care of yourself.
