Pure Love...

So, on a slightly different note from the previous post today, I thought I would share a dream I had last night that I haven't been able to get out of my head all day. The details are a bit foggy and I have no idea what it means, but it is a cool concept.

So there was a small group of people, myself included, in a room with a pool. For some reason there was an evil creature in the room (think Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) who was attacking us. This creature ended up getting us all sucked into the middle of the pool and said to us all, "Unless you can fill your hearts with pure love, you'll never get out." So I tried to focus on nothing but love and compassion, but I was in the middle of being attacked in a pool by an evil creature, so of course I couldn't focus on pure love. Eventually, none of us got out of the pool and I'm pretty sure we all drowned.

Initially, I want to say that this is a metaphor for my spiritual life right now, but I can't be sure. The pool is samsara. Unless we all learn to stop focusing on the hustle and bustle of life and focus on nothing but loving each other, we're all destined to drown in life's busyness.
