“… Real love is more than flowers, showy affection and candlelit dinners.
Its intimacy with each other, acceptance of each other, supporting one another & hoping for each others’ best life.” |
What is the size of your circle of Love? Do you love only your family and friends? Do you love only your family and have little room for friends? Do you love friends and family and also love people in general? Do you love your pets or love Nature but have little patience for people in your life?
The answers to these questions are hints to your own circle of Love.We all seek love. Romantic love is an ideal we all hope to find. Familial love is a blessing that we may not appreciate until after many bitter fights and even loss. Platonic love is a grace that when recognized shows maturity. There are many kinds of love— servant & master(also student and teacher or worker & mentor-boss), child & parent, sibling love, love between friends, love between husband and wife, and sexual love… How many of us are open to all these loves?
The Great Love of Life
Many people may find their one great love of this lifetime. And even if they don’t they can still come upon a Great Love of Life. We must all learn to not limit love to just family, friends and a romantic partner. Absolute love truly exists beyond one person, and one partnership. It exists beyond time and space. It exists beyond human definitions and expectations. The profoundest of love is to come to Love all of Life and Existence. To see the connectedness of all things and that the Source of all things is One.
When you know that whatever you come across in Life possesses Love deep down and is but hidden by layers of fear… then you know that your Circle of Love is growing and you are making progress as a human being. The newness and excitement you perceive in Life is directly proportionally to how big your circle of Love grows. Coming to Great Love means that you will no longer experience a dull moment for the rest of your Life.
And so for your time here on Earth, may you find Love and Peace in your heart. Happy Valentine’s Day!
