Tip for Grievers #25 - Addendum

Today my friend Mary Bernal sent me a link to a beautiful letter that Albert Einstein wrote his daughter Lieseri. I'm including a link below to the whole article/letter. But here is the piece that resonated most profoundly for me, and which connects directly to the 25th tip in this series:

"If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

"Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

"However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

"When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life."

(The mural pictured is about 100 feet from my office at Stanford. It infuses me with love and joy every time I see it!)
