Why do you cling to mementos, things, objects to which you give meaning? It is the human way. What is important to one person may not hold any value to another, for there is no meaning in it. It is all story, dear one. And that is how you as Joy give meaning to this embodied experience . . . Through the story of you with your particular name and characteristics. It is when the clinging leads to suffering that it helps to remember that Joy has no needs. Joy is already all that is, therefore, Joy is Love. Do you see? You are safe and loved with or without things or even a body.

Yes, you are so very loved.
