"The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living".

A blog about Inner Happiness, Consciousness and Freedom!
"What can I tell you about happiness that you don’t already know at the very core of your being? You may have ‘forgotten’ perhaps, as I have. But let’s remember, together. Let's return to the original Self we long for - that Self that is forever at peace, forever joyous, limitless, powerful, abundant and free! And as we do, let's become Conscious Creators, Bold Adventurers, creatively exploring infinite possibilities as we flow in this enchanting journey we casually call Life!"

Reflections on Love Part 2
When we explore the meaning of love, particularly in terms of its unconditional nature, we might feel like we’re staring down an endless pit. How far can we go? How far must we go? Are there no limits? Surely there must be??? Surely this cannot be expected of us???
Pause, take a deep breath. And another. Smile:-) Do smile:-)
Nothing is expected of us, really. After all, isn’t that what ‘unconditional’ means? You have no conditions to satisfy. You only need to be aware. Aware of who and what you are fundamentally, essentially. That’s all.
From this state of awareness, love, in all its forms, in all its nature is revealed – wild, spacious, free, limitless, abundant, knowing, luminous, creative and creating…it goes on…and on…and on…Unconditioned and unconditional.
You are love taken form. You are god taken form. You are the embodiment of peace and joy. As they say in Buddhism, you are ‘un-enhanceable and incorruptible’. Nothing can add to you or take away from you. Whole and complete, you are creator and created.
Such is the experience of your essential nature. Try it, as you might, in the practice of meditation. In this state of consciousness, you realize truth. And the truth is simply that – you are! Your presence is unconditional. And in that presence is experienced the bliss of pure awareness.
This is the experience that destroys the illusion of conditioned existence, of ‘conditional love’, if only briefly. This is the experience that shatters the myths of reciprocity, of give and take, of me and other, of dependence and independence, of ‘specialness’, if only momentarily. But even one instance of such experience is witness to the truth! A critical witness, I might add. Keep that witness close at hand, always, for you will need to draw on its evidence time and time again if you truly desire to penetrate the illusion of conditional love.
But how can I love without conditions? How can I love without boundaries? How can I love without…?
You don’t. You simple are. You are love. Drop all you conditioning and you are left with love.
So how do I drop my conditioning? Ah, now that is a different question. I’d like to answer that tomorrow.
In love, Lucy
How shall I serve you, my Love?

Amen – jai, sat chit anand – such a joy to read those words – such positive affirmation.
Yes – compared to the blissful abundance that we can feel – the love from parent to child, with all its “obligations” – “fears” – “secret ambitions” – reciprocal bonds – just feels like a shrimp pot full of love. A mere sample.
But even a little of such a power goes a long, long way – it is that magnificent.
Thank you.
I adore my mother. I feel deeply and eternally grateful that she is my mother. I feel the ‘unconditional’ nature of her love often. It points me to the truth by expressing the truth. Recognizing and remembering this enables me to see past her very occasional departures from ‘unconditional’ love – they are soooooooo insignificant! :-) Lucy
