Unconditional love

Yesterday’s blog ended with the statement that “It’s about making the inner switch from self-condemnation to compassionate self-love.”

So, today I want to share something related to the power of unconditional love.

Way back at the end of the 1980’s, I was an active member of a Unity church in San Francisco. A songwriter named Greg Tamblyn frequently performed there and I purchased several of his recordings.

Although he specialized in spiritual humor, he also had a talent for addressing deep issues and profound emotion through his songs. One in particular touched me deeply. It told the story of a woman named Evy who healed herself of an illness through learning to love herself unconditionally.

Fast forward to just a few years ago. Somewhere along the line I ended up on the mailing list for Greg’s email newsletter and for some reason found myself remembering that song and wanting to know more about it.

Going to Greg’s website, I listened to the song again and found it just as powerful as when I first heard it over thirty years ago. I also found a blog post Greg had written about it and was blown away.

I invite you to listen to the song (below) and read Evy’s story (by clicking here (Greg’s blog post) or here or here (written by Evy herself).

More and more I’m understanding that LOVE truly IS all we need.
