Janet wrote: "the only thing that is real is love and that is what we are" A source I have read with a similar message, in speaking of the fact that perfect Love (God) makes nothing destructible, summarized its statement of ultimate truth like this: "Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists, herein lies the peace of God." Janet's post reminded me of a story I once heard that goes like this: Two young fish were swimming along one day when they happened upon a wise old guru fish. The wise one said, "Isn't the water wonderful today boys." The two youngsters looked at each other and one asked the other, "What is water?" The other youngster shrugged his gills and off they swam in search of the water. They looked and looked, but never found it. In looking high and low the youngsters never realized they were always in the water, and that without it they could not exist. As long as we wander around looking for where the Water is kept, reading about it in books or asking some spiritual adviser we will be like the little fish. The EXPERIENCE of water comes, I believe, to a thirsty mind that listens. Love Chuck
