When Love Has No Limits, We Soar

We were both cold from the summer night in Davis Square. I had been enjoying an Oreo scoop...a love I finally rekindled after many years of remaining cookie free. It tasted of sweet goodness after my patience settled in. Of novelty and wholeness. My friend was getting goosebumps from the chill, so we decided to take our ice cream right on home and say our goodbyes. And on our way, three little boys began to circle the square with bright green pamphlets in their hand.

The shortest of the three, with a ribbed T-shirt and spiked hair, probably no more than 12 years old, came our way.

"Miss, we are trying to get to soccer camp."

He was terrified, but the words emerged from within, and I turned my attention toward him and the other two boys. I felt what struggle it might have been for him to muster up the courage to speak to us. My heart was open and welcoming.

"Well, we have a raffle and we are asking for donations. we know it's a lot, but" he said.

"How much?" my friend said.

"Ten, miss. Ten dollars," he said.

There was a pause between us five. And in this moment, I began to hesitate. I have been waiting on a job and had just spent some money and time with a good friend. The reasons to say no ran through my head, and I couldn't believe the fear. Why this fear? It is money. Paper. It had never meant much to me because life was so rich, the night so sweet. It would mean the world to them, and I could tell by their look.

Sarah, what are you doing?!

And I know that this is the light speaking to me. This is Source. This is Love and I will do God's work with joy. With passion.

We both reach for our wallets, and gave two ten dollar bills.

Their faces lit the night and they moved inward toward us. It was as though their whole lives people had told them no. I know that my higher purpose doesn't know that word. Source doesn't know what is missing. It only knows how to give.

This is my goal. Endless, limitless love. And if I want to be more like Source Energy, the energy in which we all came from and return to, the goal of my life is to live this higher purpose. To trust in humanity when everyone is thinking of what is missing, I will give.

"Miss, you have no idea how much this makes our night. You've made such a difference, thank you miss" the eldest said.

The pleasure was shared by all, and the beauty of Oneness seeped deep into our skin, permeating in a symphony of love.
