Yup I just said that. Are you curious? Do you know what it is? Are you already disagreeing with me? I must admit I held a tiny chuckle in my heart as I typed that last question up because I could practically hear a cacophony of phonies rearing their mugs to peek in my general direction for having the audacity to state what I am about to proudly proclaim.
Love. Love is the most powerful essence on earth. It always has been and it always will be. Throughout the ages and the development rise and fall of societies, cultures and civilizations one pure and potent essence has surfed the waves of humanities at times tumultuous development surfacing from the depths of darkness in its own lighted brilliance and that is Love.
Love is the most pure and potent expression of the divine and divinity one can experience in living. True there are varying layers to this same essence and the deeper you explore it the more treasure you will find and trust me when I say it can be a much more amazing experience then you can fully explain or comprehend fully without being ready, willing and open to its beauty.
Love is what can bring you back from the fuzzy buzzing of detachment experienced in moments of life altering circumstance. It is Love alone that can pull you back, nothing less will ever reach you. Love is always there also and while its presence in your life when given from another to yourself can be perspective shattering eventually if not immediately, it is always sourced from the Divine.
Love is first grown within ourselves for ourselves. Layers and rounds of forgiveness given to ourselves allow the healing necessary for Love to blossom. We are our greatest critic no matter the at times oxymoronic heroism the criticism that others may at times potentially try to foist upon our shoulders as they choose to not look at their own mirrors reflection first.
It is true that we can not truly love another until we love ourselves for the simple reasoning that if we do not love ourselves we will inevitably witness our flaws, faults and weaknesses reflected in the experiences we share with those we choose to allow into our lives. They become the blame for the pain we carry until they are no longer there at which point a new target may come along so as to offer us a new shoulder to distract and divert our intended internal focus of personal growth.
Or we can stop that eternal hamster wheel and hop off the circle to nowhere. Taking a minute to look around us and realize that we were the ones keeping ourselves held to the wheel to nowhere and that it wasn’t anyone elses fault no matter how cold, cruel or calculated their own chosen actions may at times present. This doesn’t forgive cruelty it simply allows you to walk away from it and leaves room for the burden of its existence to return to the source of its origination with Love and the intention to teach as it inevitably eventually will for us all no matter what resistance may be attempted nor for how long the illusion is maintained.
We are in charge of our own destiny and while being loved is a treasure to be sure, just because we may feel that lacking in our lives for reasons beyond our control we are truly blessed because we can give ourselves the love we seek. Sure tenderness is nice and absolutely human contact is lovely. But we can survive without it. We just have to work harder to allow our hearts to remain soft if that is the case. If that is the path you find yourself upon then look to the sky for your tenderness and feel the sweet softness of the moss underfoot while the birds sing you songs of love and appreciation.
From those foundations of treasure, the sweet murmurings of love on the wind as it gently whispers through the treetops or the soft gurgling of the creek you may sit beside or walk alongside of for a bit. Nature and the universe reflect all that we may need even if it is called to be held within ourselves for ourselves first and foremost. Because we each and every one of us need to at times be reminded that we are not on our own entirely. Nature will never forget the basic principles of life and love. Whereas humanity can ride a rollercoaster of distraction and diversion at times which almost always inevitably results in pain as a motivator for change when there are easier ways.
Let your heart remain soft and pliable so that miracles can take seed and blossom because they have a much harder time taking root in the proverbially concrete hard heart soil of one who has chosen to forget what treasure and dreaming are. Though anything is indeed possible. Also know that sometimes it is the salt of our tears that is the best fertilizer for our dreams and that is ok as well. All things pass.
I’m off to go hug another tree today..
I love you all.
