You are loved
Believe in love
Let the river of your feeling flow
Be a soul who knows the truth
In this world there is no separation
As long as your heart can find the way
Through barricades of fear
To love
And liberation
Love is open
It sees beyond appearances
Into the depth
Love is patient
And even when it feels bereft
Love is able to know
That all feelings
All experiences
All challenges are
Survivable
As long as the circumference of our being widens
To include
These precious qualities
Mercy
Tolerance
Empathy
Understanding
And compassion
Love is everywhere Deb …
Where Is Love?
Behind every word
There is a thought
Between every thought
There is an emotion
Underneath the emotion
There is a heartbeat
Below the heartbeat
There is a soul
Within the soul
There lives love

This post is a beautiful reminder of the power of love and its ability to overcome fear and separation. The imagery of a flowing river and a heart that can find its way through barricades is truly evocative. It reminds us that love is open, patient, and all-encompassing, and that as long as we widen the circumference of our being to include qualities such as mercy, tolerance, empathy, understanding, and compassion, we can survive any feeling or experience. This message is a much-needed reminder in today’s world, and I am grateful for its reminder to believe in love.

This comment of yours means the world to me Sebastian. I am so grateful for it. I recently had an argument with my sister out of old bullying pain it made me realise that the love we long for is the most important defining thing in our life.. When we learn to close off in the wound we cannot find the way home, back to our own heart. Its a challenging thing to be hurt as a child, we may learn to fawn and just long for love anywhere and sometimes give ourselves away to find it, but even then we can find a way home. And that consists in showing compassion, I believe for the small child in everyone who once suffered and some chose to build ongoing defenses against, if that make sense?
