Dear friends,
Love does not hurt. What hurts is the perceived loss of love. But it cannot truly be lost. Love is part of our spiritual DNA and can be alive and expressive or dormant and passive. It often seems to be enlivened by the arrival of some other person or an object that is most pleasing to us. But can we awaken love in ourselves if there is no significant other? Yes, it takes many forms when it is not attached to anyone else. Compassion is a form of love and so is gratitude.
Love happens when we allow ourselves to feel oneness with Life, when we recognize the beauty that is everywhere, as we notice the desire in us to unite with the world in a way that makes it a better place for everyone. Love is the energy of reaching out, offering help, lifting up. Love is giving in support of great ideas. Love is generosity. Love is our greatest resource.
Ernest Holmes spoke about Love as the energy of cohesiveness. His famous saying that “love brings together that which belongs together and maintains it in harmony and balance.” Yes, as long as love is the active force in any situation, there is stability; there is the energy that continually makes the relationship new. It is our own withdrawal of love (of compassion, gratitude, generosity, oneness with) that causes the disintegration of what Love has produced. With Love, everything holds together and keeps extending itself beyond what it has previously created.
Keep Love alive!
Stay tuned in,
