“When someone seeks,” said Siddhartha,

“then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks,

and he is able to truly find nothing, to take in nothing —

because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking,

because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal.

Seeking means: having a goal. But FINDING means: being free,

being open, having no goal.” ~ Herman Hesse
.
In order to truly Find what our Hearts seek,

we must have the humility to truly SEEK with an open-mind;

we must be willing to See not what we wish to see, but rather to See what is already there to be Seen.

And to Seek in this manner, we must also have the courage to stop being led —

… we must have the courage to set aside “learning” and “teachers” and “leaders” & LIVE our Truths,

not merely think about them or read about them or talk about them …

We must be brave enough to enliven the wisdom of Jacques Cousteau and “go see for ourselves”.

So … when you set forth to Love —

… really LOVE, without limit or expectation or hope or desire —

… what do you Find?
