A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter, Lieserl, who donated 1,400 letters written by him to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish them until 20 years after his death.This is one of them, to her.When I proposed the theory of relativity very few understood me. What I will reveal now to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe, and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love, because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love, multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energyIf we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love, whose energy is waiting to be released.When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you, and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.Your father,Albert EinsteinHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. . .
kind of makes you think
that everything’s not so relative. . .
IT IS MORE
. . .SO MUCH MOREwhich means
which means
we can meet in the land of MUCH MORE
living as Caring Catalysts
who all understand and teach
Life is short, 🔴 ⚫ 🔴
and we have too little time
to gladden the hearts of those
who travel the journey with us.
So be swift to love,
and make haste to be kind.

THE GREATEST CREATOR
GOD CREATED MAN
MAN CREATED GOD
I found this recently scribble on a sliver of paper that fell out of a notebook I had in a box from high-school nearly fifty years ago. . .
and it brought me to a question
that I believe
Y O U
are the Answer:
WHO IS THE GREATEST CREATOR
Let’s ask a different question that’ll lead us all to the Answer:
How often do you see yourself described in this list?
- You believe you can make someone else’s life better. And are willing to invest your own time, effort, resources, and heart to do so.
- You share the lessons you’ve learned on your journey to make other people’s journey easier.
- You love to turn nothing into something.
- You recognize that a great way to understand who you are and what you believe is to try to express it to others.
- You believe there’s a better way. Always.
- Curiosity is one of your core values.
- You’d rather have no map to follow than be forced to use step-by-step instructions.
- You routinely question authority, or the status quo, or conventional wisdom, or the way it’s “always” been done.
- You define “success” for yourself and aren’t bound by the expectations of others.
- You understand that the cost of doing something you don’t believe in will always be more than the reward.
- You’re brave enough to try.
- You put dreams ahead of your fears.
- You’re willing to take a leap and figure it out on the way down.

The same day
GOD CREATED MAN
MAN CREATED GOD
fluttered out of my notebook
that I not-so-accidentally
took from the overly dusty box
I not-so-accidentally
came across a tweet from Josh Spector
who I kind of accidentally follow
but don’t really know
Josh Spector intended his original list to describe creative professionals. I’ve broadened and adapted it to include anyone who aspires to live an imaginative, creative life.
I suspect that includes you!
Am I right?
(My thanks to Josh Spector.)
My thanks to the greatest Creator
Y O U
