Love: a how-to

February 14, 2011

1. Press “pause” on your ego. This will cause a number of things to temporarily fly away.

2. Think about, look upon, or converse with yourself or another.

P.S. If #1 is too difficult to do all at once, try one small pause at a time. Over time, your ability to give and receive love will grow.

P.P.S. If P.S. is too difficult to do just yet, try tending trust, each day, in some small way. That’s what these sketches are for. And this entire site!

Right now I’m working in the P.S.-P.P.S range. And my report as of now: totally worth it.

  2. And even if you don’t, Lily, that’s fine too. :)

  3. Gorgeous Kristin! I love part 1 (and that you gave us permission to do it a little bit at a time). And I love the idea that there is a pause button right at my centre. Tempted to get out a sharpie and write it on as a reminder :)

  4. Ooo, love the sharpie idea, Yvette. Now I only wish there were a way to make a simple push of said button *work*. :)
