My sister Beth wrote a blog post yesterday on my birthday. It was so beautifully and poignantly written I had to read it many times to "take in" the love she expressed. I realized immediately that I had no idea I had an impact on her journey and I had no recognition of what love really is.
So I read it line by line.
At the end of each sentence I would say true.
Yet each sentence was like I was being told for the first time.
I heard a musician tell of another musician that when they play their instruments together it was like "requited love" and I wanted to know its opposite: unrequited love.
"Unrequited love or one-sided love is love that is not openly reciprocated or UNDERSTOOD as such. The beloved may or may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affections or not reciprocated or returned in kind."
Yesterday I allowed this to enter into my consciousness and allowed this love fall into me with no inhibitions. It fell deep into the unloved parts of my self like a healing balm.
Self Love is true Love.
I now can recognize my own self worth.
I call it Love.
Happy Birthday Carl
"Because of you, I didn't walk alone.
Because of you, I was heard.
Because of you, I had fear, but said what I needed to say...fearlessly!
Because of you, I embraced my uniqueness.
Because of you, I stood taller, breathe deeper and dared do things beyond my experiences.
Because of you I do yoga.
Because of you I read books on spirituality and consciousness and healing.
Because of you I am fearless in my art.
Because of you I know my back is always covered.
Because of you I know my past deeper, clearer and with compassion.
Because of you, I am Me...with free self expression and love.
Because you have given me love...just as I am.
Your journey, your strength and courage, your honesty and unflinching stare at our dysfunctional mind... inspires me!
Because of you I dare be all of me!
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about."
I believe we can now play in this field!
Happy Birthday Carl!"
Beautifully expressed and what a wonderful gift to each other....love in and of itself...such a healing and happy experience. I get to experience that love from both of you as I open up to what my truth is about. Joanie
