Fly Toward a Secret Sky

"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First to let go of life.
Finally, to take a step without feet."
- Rumi
I once walked the labyrinth in Grace Cathedral, in San Francisco, deep in meditation, in hopes to gain clarity regarding what to do next at a time in my life when I felt everything was falling apart. I was in an in-between place in all areas of my life, with a sense that the stability I had so long relied upon had been blown apart. Seeking answers, I had come to Grace Cathedral to walk a labyrinth that is based on the famous medieval labyrinth of Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Chartres.
There were only a few other people slowly walking the labyrinth on the floor of the Cathedral that day, and I glanced around to quickly confirm everyone present was here with the same meditative intent as me, before taking my first step forward. As I wound my way back and forth in ever-tightening loops headed for the center of the labyrinth, I kept pace with others walking here in contemplative silence. My intention was to receive inner guidance at the very center of this labyrinth... a place to stop and listen deeply.
Time itself seemed to come to a stop when I reached the center of the labyrinth, and the answer to my unspoken question regarding what next to do with my life came to me quite surprisingly in the form of the question, "What are you living for?" as the carillon bells began to chime.

I realized in that moment that Love is a word that carries with it much meaning, far beyond mere romantic love as conveyed in books and movies... and this was the beginning of my commitment to pursuing work that I love in ways that can help people live more rewarding, love-filled lives. I notice how much easier it is to feel a sense of love and oneness in the world when I focus on what I most love. I am delighted to see that recent studies have shown that thinking of a loved one can reduce your pain.
