on the daily drive

On my daily drive to work and back I usually contemplate aspects of life, love and the pursuit of freedom a.k.a. happiness. This morning my contemplation surrounded the song I was listening to ... Stevie Wonder and his timeless, imaginary news cast about the circumstances of days long ago ... from the "70's. The song was "Love's in Need" and it states that love is in need of love. Poetic playfulness about a seriously needed emotion. Not a thing about this song was old. So what does this have to do with healing? Everything. Love ... simply given and taken, shared and felt realistically. Stevie says "don't delay".

What else is there that can immediately regenerate us like a good dose of love? In a hug from a true friend, eye contact from your lover, the enthusiasm in seeing a beloved coming your way ... to love is to heal. Nobody needs Reiki as much as they need love.
