“[...] Essence simply enjoys and commits attention and love to whatever is. In fact, committing attention to anything that is present results in enjoyment.

“Essence loves whatever is happening because it either created it or allowed you (your ego) to create it for your growth and evolution.

Life is perfectly designed to evolve us, and that is what is lovable about every moment.”
