Do you love with your whole heart, with every molecule of your being? Do you love with your thoughts, words, and actions? Do you love while never uttering the words, “I love you”?
Love invites us into expansiveness. Its exposes our core asking us to be vulnerable, open, humble. While love may shout from the rooftops, it is also the gentle breeze that wraps around a bruised heart or soothes the ravages of tears. Love is healing grace shared heart to heart.
Love sometimes knows no words. It simply is a smile, a gentle stroke on the arm, a gesture of inclusion. Love says in a myriad of ways, “You got this. I am proud of you. I love you. You belong.” These reminders are often uttered without one single word.
Love paves the way of opportunity. Knowing that we are loved propels us to take one more step down the unlit path of the unknown. Love holds our hand and soothes those scary thoughts of defeat and failure. Love gives us the strength to try one more time.
Love believes in potential. No matter how small the ember’s glow, love blows gently upon it. Love adds kindling of support until the sparks of possibility flare into a midnight black sky of despair. Love catches those sparks and holds them gently until we can claim them for our own.
Love powers the truth at the core of our being. It awakens our courage to be who we are. Love nudges us into acts of curious daring. Love reminds us, “It’s okay to be your own self for who else could you be?” Love is the power that propels us through the dark night into the awakening morn.
Love brightens the day. It shines into the crevices and shadows that we fear to peer into much less walk through. It shows us that there is nothing so horrid that we cannot shine from our authentic core. Love accepts us for who we are and invites us to be all that we can be no matter what the external circumstances.
From the seeds of this love spirals our beautiful true self. In our truth we give birth to compassion. Through each act of compassion, we seed love into the world. Just. Like. That.
