Love Is…

Love means something different to each of us. Our understanding of love changes from moment to moment.  What does it mean to You?

One thing is true. Love is free. Nothing can contain it. Yet, often there are demands or attempts to take it. To control love. It’s impossible though to take what is not offered organically.

Some people will be happy to see you self-realizing love.  Others might be jealous or even angry. It means so many things, it can be fear, it can be anger, it can even be hatred in some type of entangled loyalty.  It is part of the creative process of life, and it is a key to human evolution.  Love transforms us when we lean into it.

Sometimes, the only way that we realize what we are made of… is to have it reflected back. Healthy relationships can mirror it back when we have not experienced before. It can deepen our love bond. And when a relationship ends, we can either embrace it or defend against it. Grief is a form of love too as we transition from loving the other to finding it inside our own hearts.

Some people might call “love” a complex emotion.  Really though, it is what we are made of.  It’s the flame inside our heart that burns and allow us to be human between the earth and the heavens.

Lastly, knowing love often requires a surrender of what we know in our heads.  It’s often the breaking of our hearts.  A broken heart can later open up the deeper well inside to help us self-discover our True Essence.

I’d like to say, even if love feels like it is escaping you now.  Set your intention to choose it.  Love hears you.  It will show you the way.  It’s the only way to win in this life.
