Episode Notes:
Does love take work?
How our personal worlds collide
How our thinking distorts how other people look
What if love and peace are always already here?
Not putting weight on all the moments that feel off
What if we don’t have to solve messes to get out of them?
What if the basis of connection is beyond the chaos?
Seeing our thinking about people for what it is
The part we play when our feelings get hurt
Finding the space where our thoughts about people are irrelevant
What if it doesn’t take effort to enjoy other human beings?
Realizing a deeper truth about who and what we are
