 | - that love is a flow. sometimes giving more, sometimes receiving more. Always in motion. It can exist completely out of balance in the context of one person, but the flow of love as a whole will remain in balance within me. - that I can love someone just as they are and let go my need to control that experience. - that someone else will see me as beautiful just as I am. There is a power available to me when I own that. - that the things people bring to me as gifts are my responsibility to carry forward in my life not theirs - that the images of how love is 'supposed' to be are a hallmark kind of bullshit that western culture has fed us. love can be whatever I imagine it to be with whomever I imagine it with. - that real love is hard work, most of it shit of my own making. It requires a choice every day, but the paycheck for that work is the best one I have ever received. - that real love hurts. There is no way to avoid that. But, it is also the most amazing feeling I have known. - that love is elastic - there is always room for others, room to grow, room for continents of distance. - that everything is easier when I can laugh about it - even, maybe especially, love. |
