“If the common paths led to love, love’s heroes would be legion. But masters of love are rare. How did these great ones prepare themselves?

They didn’t. They saw the futility of preparing for love. They recognized that preparation is only postponement—because the emphasis on becoming reflects a refusal to already be.

Jumping into love is like jumping off a high diving board: there’s no way to get ready—you’ve got to jump. And that’s exactly what they all did.

So don’t get ready. Just surrender to what you’ve always been getting ready to surrender to—just do it.”
