If you long to be loved and if you feel that you are lacking love, then teach yourself to fall in love with Mother Nature. Learn to love the trees, the flowers, the grass, the streams, lakes and rivers, the land, the hills... - and the elemental energies that are both guarding and enhancing the different parts of Nature. In becoming a lover to Mother Nature you will find that you are being loved in return by an omnipresent being that is always there for you in patience, compassion and silence, sharing your joys, relieving your sorrows and fortifying you with new strength. If you cultivate this love-affair with Mother Nature you will in turn find the eternal lover existing inside your own heart and thus be enabled to return the love that is being given you by Mother Nature and other living beings in equal measure and from an undying fount.
There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
