The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.

It comes and sits softly on your shoulder."

Enough Love
“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble;
how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be
the happiest and most powerful being in the world.”
Emmet Fox
The River Bends

And you do it with your thoughts"

listen to the existence and become part of it."
