Love must circulate in order to get out of its dreamy state. When it does not circulate, it becomes sought after in desperation, as if it were rare and difficult to find. Love is rare only when it hides, and it hides when it is taken up for our own use and not returned. ~ Robert Sardello in his book: Love and the Soul; Creating a Future for the Earth
I set out on a travel and personal journey. I didn’t get far mileage-wise, and I have traveled yet deeper into myself. I started this website and blog with a creative intention. My expectation was that I would be inspired to write due to my traveling into the unknown. I would be inspired to share my story and the stories I would collect meeting and sharing brief moments of love with others. I intended to share the blessings that I have been gifted in hope of empowering others to live fully and freely.
When I touched down in San Diego and discovered a place that attracted my heart, that
offered love of family and friends - both old and new- as well as attachment to familiar activities and experiences, I judged myself. I told myself that I was not following through with my plan and therefore what could I write about that was worthy, that would have the impact that I had consciously intended. I stopped broadly circulating my love. I hid my light from the “world” out there. I relished in the good I was receiving in isolation from the broad world (albeit in relation to a small circle of people). As a result, I admit with regret that there have been moments of seeking love in desperation and believing that love is rare and difficult to find. It never ceases to amaze me how one moment of awareness has extraordinary power to change us. Reading the opening statement above today, I am literally re-ignited. I am acutely aware that my choices create my reality. When I dim myself, I am the one who pays the price. The price for me is enormous. I give up my deep longing for free engagement with the world; I give up my choice for exchanging love, peace and ease with myself and the world. I give up on being impactful and inspiring. I forget that I am connected to everyone and everything in the world.
What price do you pay when you withhold love from yourself or others?
What price do you pay when you dim yourself and forget to see how magnificent you are?
Religious or not, this verse from the bible speaks volumes:
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see
your good works... ~ Matthew 5:14-15
I see the light in you and I urge you to let it shine. Never underestimate the impact of your being, of a smile you lovingly offer, of an encouraging word to a friend, or love you give freely to a complete stranger. Remember that love must circulate and trust that when you pour it freely forth it will return to you enlarged.
Namaste’ my friends
