Over 20 years ago, I went through a divorce. One day I was a successful, wealthy, healthy and happy businessman, the next I was not. My wife and three treasures of my life, Simon 7, Ricky 5 and Stephanie 3, sailed off into the sunset on a yacht with their new “Dad”. I was shattered, suicidal. I tried everything to heal, most helped, but nothing worked. One day, however, it all came together purely by chance.

It was 2 years since I’d seen the kids. I was sitting on the beach, trying to meditate (Zen was one of my many journeys) when I noticed an amazing sight; the moon still full while the sun was rising. I became consumed by the sight, and forgot where I was, losing myself in this magnificent beauty. This was the first time I had ever stopped and felt the love for my beautiful children, without any expectation of it. I was not doing something, or being something, or giving something, or getting anything.

On this day, in the stillness of this moment on the beach, and totally by accident, I felt love without trying, without ownership, without control, without duty or obligation, or commitment. I had always loved my children and I had always loved my ex-wife, but I had never untangled that love from emotion. That day it happened, I loved them without expectation, without emotion or mind, and that was the end of my pain. I was in love, but I had no expectation. I was looking at the same moon they were looking at, and in that moment, for the first time in my life, I had separated the material world from the spiritual world of love, I now understood true love.
