What is that quality we call unconditional love? I set out to the woods to find out.
Some questions arising for me:
1) Is it possible to love ourselves unconditionally?
2) Can we expect others to love us unconditionally?
3) How do we know when we love without judgment, without condition, without anxiety about what will happen to us when we do?
Madrone (Madrona) trees called me.
And then I began seeing hearts everywhere.

I tried to sit in the presence of the part of me that is capable of unconditional love, and that part of me had a conversation with the part that sits with her head bowed on her folded arms in sadness and pain. After tears, gradually I became aware of a merging. A willingness to sit with pain and not move. That felt like unconditional love.
I walked on and noticed beautiful tree shelves (fungi). And I thanked the trees for their answers.
