Since my divorce in 2002 I've become more aware of my beliefs surrounding love. I had no idea what love really is about. I've romanticized love. I fallen in love and out of love. The love I knew had conditions attached to it. The love I've experienced most recently was all lies. I believed those lies so I can't blame the LIAR. I don't know if I'm any closer to the meaning of love but this is what I know today.
I've come to believe in love as the ability to see the beauty and perfection where others see flaws. Seeing the truth of a situation and not idealizing it (this is a big one for me because I have this belief that I need to give someone I care about the benefit of MY doubt). Seeing the truth in another person and accepting their imperfections. this is love. In seeing and accepting my own imperfections I begin to love myself. If am able to love my fallibility and I can laugh at my mistakes, I can embrace my mistakes with joy and let the energy pass through me instead of judging myself. I'm capable of loving the fallibility in others now that I've practiced on myself. I'm not ignorant to anothers dysfunction. I'm not overlooking what I need to pay attention to. I can pay attention to the messages inside of me. Yet I can still love.
I believe love is also an energy that needs to be returned to the world. This energy is always available to me. I can be aware of love passing through me and surrounding me. I can send love out to others. Love can heal me physically, mentally and spiritually. The energy of love connects me to myself and to a Divine power. When I'm living in this love it heals the world around me.
Love teaches me to not expect perfection in another human being. Love teaches me to be at one with myself. Love teaches me how to accept and pass through difficult times. Love heals me and heals the world around me.
Be well
