MEDITATION ON LOVE- 1

     ~To experience pain every day is also to constantly have love illuminated; pain magnifies love~

For anything to be fixed, someone or thing has to get in there and take a look at what's going on. Sometimes it's me who does it, sometimes a friend or partner. A timely judgment, misunderstanding, challenge, compliment, merging, or sharing can burst the door open into a tender, forgotten world; spiraling caverns of fear and hope.

We must love deeply, fully, wholly, so that our most intimate loved ones can get in close, nearest our inner cuts and scrapes, and co-create with us- by the acts of love-making, hugging, kissing, listening, laughing and breathing together- a nourishing, nurturing salve, capable of restoring the heart to calm, allowing for the gentle, joyful opening. The true lover enters willingly, effortlessly, gently, and honored, for she loves to see him deep in love. She knows his heart must be strong and open for it.

Within these caves, occasionally a lover passes a reflective pool, and sees something uncomely. She spits into it, attempting to distort or rearrange what is seen. If she does not recognize the image is a reflection, she will project her desire for improvement onto her lover, thinking it is him, driving him distant with sadness and madness, dismayed by her constant judgment and disappointment. (I have done this....I apologize, again, sincerely.)

If she knows it is herself she sees, she will journey inward to Spirit for correction, with the support of her lover, who gave her his heart space in which to safely be revealed to herself. Praise be. To be in the heart of your beloved when your own pain-truth comes in is a highest, holiest blessing. (I have experienced this. I thank you, again, sincerely).


~God, give me to the love that brings You out the most.
Always, all ways~
