All I know is it is not asking for more than is given and giving more than is asked.

Shine like the sun, always smile & shine.

for me, it is the ability to let ego-driven expectations and judgments go, and to allow my love to flow outward from where it is within me, without any need for a reaction, acknowledgement, reward or reciprocity, to love as if all there needs to be is the love flowing from within me to fill the universe. that love is all there is, and all there is is love.

in another tribe, there was a thread about what makes a good person, and someone said "unconditional love" -- but in my life, i have just moments of that, and it's an ongoing exercise to bring myself back to that state, because i do have an ego that carries a running conversation that separates me from others in its observations, criticisms, judgments, and reactions. and there are certainly people and situations that trigger that ego in a way that clouds my ability to experience love in that moment.

but there are those moments... those wonderful moments... when i really am in that place where my love flows out into the world, and that is who i know i am.

I think it might be what we are. We are unconditional love.

acceptance and gratitude for all that IS

*All I know is it is not asking for more than is given and giving more than is asked.*

I think today I made this mistake, i asked for more than what is given, because I still haven't accepted the fact that I don't need people to give to me just because i have given so much.

And if I am ever the last person on the planet with nobody to give back to me after I have given so much, will I be able to accept that for what it is, or expect something in return with nobody left to give? For I have done nothing that hasn't been done already for someone, why should I be special?

I think today Unconditional love is to just accept my still favored weakness of wanting people to connect with me as I have for them.

Extreme love for someone but not needing them.....
