LOVING EACH OTHER
This is probably the most intricate and difficult of all the journeys we travel, as it involves so much of us. We don't only love with our body, but also with our mind, heart, soul and spirit. To love unconditionally in spite of words and deeds, requires an enormous amount of understanding and insight. For a love to survive we often need to forgive the unforgivable, tolerate the intolerable, overlook the flesh in favour of the heart. We are inclined to give love based on our human perception, expecting love in return. When we don't receive it, our feelings are hurt and we harden our hearts to avoid the pain we experience. Hardening our hearts shuts the door to understanding and compassion turning us into what we are not. We start building walls around our heart, shutting our minds to to openness and become locked in prisons of loneliness and isolation. This is not really love at all, but more a case of expectations. Real love doesn't work this way, if and when we are connected to the source of love which is a soul connection to divinity. Only then will we have a never ending source of love to feed our souls through dry times.....
