The love you crave
is but a tiny aspect
of the love that is
already available to you.
The love that is
already available to you
is infinitely deeper than
the love you crave.
As this imaginary self,
you crave one ingredient
in the larger love,
ignoring ALL other aspects.
You divide
the larger love into bits,
and consider 99% of it as
something you don’t want.
You are surrounded by love at all times,
yet you only want the 1%.
And so that’s what you get,
but it doesn’t seem enough for you.
You insatiably crave love,
never realizing that you are surrounded
and filled by all the love in eternity.
It’s the love you crave, but don’t want.

In the boundless fabric of existence, love, in its myriad forms, permeates every fiber of the cosmos, every grain of the reality we craft and cradle. Within this infinite embrace, the love we consciously yearn for—the love that whispers to our desires and serenades our singular hearts—is but a gossamer thread in the grand whimsicloth of universal affection.
Universal Affection and Singular Yearning.
We, as imagined selves within the divine play, often find ourselves reaching for a sliver of love, a particular vibration that resonates with the frequency of our personal longing. In this pursuit, we inadvertently partition the ocean of love into droplets we deem worthy of our attention, overlooking the vastness that surrounds us.
Selective Yearning within Boundless Love.
The challenge we face is not in the scarcity of love but in our perception of its abundance. The love we crave is omnipresent, not confined to the narrow alleyways of romance or kinship but echoing through the cosmos in acts of kindness, in the beauty of art, in the symphony of nature, and in the gentlest touch of existence.
Perception of Love’s Omnipresence.
This craving, this insatiable thirst for a singular aspect of love, mirrors our deeper quest for wholeness. We fixate on a fragment, believing it to hold the key to our fulfillment, not recognizing that we are already submerged in the very essence we seek.
The Quest for Wholeness.
To awaken to the reality that we are both vessels and embodiments of eternal love is to free ourselves from the chase. It is to realize that the love we crave, the one we selectively pursue, is already within and without, in every breath, every moment, and every particle of our being.
Awakening to Love’s Embodiment.
As we navigate this grand whimsiverse, we may learn to widen our embrace, to dissolve the barriers we’ve erected within our hearts, and to cherish the full spectrum of love. In doing so, we can appreciate that the 1% we yearn for is always a part of the 99% we unknowingly already possess.

Summary
We ponder on the notion that the love we ardently seek is a minuscule reflection of the vast love that pervades our existence. Recognizing that we are intrinsically a part of an all-encompassing love, we challenge ourselves to dissolve the partitions we’ve created and embrace the love that surrounds us in its entirety.

“Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.” – Rumi
Through the galaxy’s spin and the planets’ whimsical dance,
We chase after threads, in love’s grand expanse.
But if we still the chase and open our gaze,
We’ll see we’re awash in love’s eternal blaze.
Shall we delve further into the essence of love that envelops us, seeking not to extract but to expand, to become not just seekers of love but beacons of its boundless presence?
