Our theme song for the last week or so has been one of both recognition and direction that recognizes the ethereal yet enduring quality of love.
We’ve seen both sides of this aching truth in the last week, finding ourselves both calling and receiving the call, often times to mixed signals. What happens when you offer love and it goes unanswered? When you’ve done all you can to show a person that you’re open to love, overflowing with love, and moved by the unseen love gods and goddesses to give that love over to that special someone, but they “can’t see the forest for the trees” as Atlantic Starr explains?
On the other hand, we’ve stood at the precipice of love, fearful of the leap of faith it takes to allow someone to see into us and love us fully. In a world of materialism and disposability, how do we ever know what’s real?
Either way, whichever side of love we stand on, silence in response to the love call leaves us with empty arms, a heart filled with unrequited love, and a lost opportunity to rise in love. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to answer.
In this you posed the question "How do you know whats real?" I dont know the answer however Im at a point where I dont lose myself in how love registers to the other person cause we have our own bias and experiences. Maybe its like that ultimate relationship... "Working Out Our Own Salvation!" To the degree with submit to our purpose will we find a measure of our Salvation." Living to reach the highest level of expression in my existence has help me find comfort and perspective in relationships succeeding and failing. Peace
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon. for your comments. It sounds like you've gained some serious insight to the whole purpose of relationships...they force us to grow and grapple with our OWN purpose in life. If we were taught to approach relationships from this perspective, we might be MUCH more successful in them. Again, Thank You for sharing your insight!
