When I was five I was playing alone in a pine grove in south Georgia. And all of a sudden, I felt enveloped by warmth and light. And I heard, inaudibly in the deepest part of myself, You are the most beloved creature in all of creation. At the same time I got that message, I also heard, And every other person is the most beloved creature in all of creation. It is that experience of unconditional love that has so overwhelmed me and made my life what it is today.
