The Power of Love
I watched the Larry Lewis YouTube video a bit ago called Power 2012. It is excellent. You can find a link on my web: either the home page or the newsletter page. Don't remember which one Jane, my web designer said she used.
Larry says 2012 is about Power and he uses music and photograph and lovely soothing words that read and sound like poetry, to tell us about that. It helped me feel comforted and secure. It put a smile on my face, and quieted my heart.
I, however, want to hone that down a bit. I think really it is already and going to be even more so, about the Power of Love. January is not even over and Clo and I have profoundly experienced the power of love in our lives. The holidays were all about family loving, and us soaking it up and giving it back with delight and joy.
A dear friend was with her dear friend yesterday as her friend of 40 years or more died after a long illness. She told me it was an experience of peace and pure love. Transforming. I think it is a miracle when we can totally set aside judgements, criticism, negativity, and perfectly surround our inside self and outside self with the peace and well being of knowing love fully. Another word that might fit is bliss. Or even joyfulness.
My experience is that our planet and our people are in a great deal of distress and it is showing by natural disasters, as well as dis-ease, pain, relationship challenges, financial/economic struggles, spiritual questioning and meaning of life crisis. I believe more and more of us are realizing the ONLY answer to our current planet wide crisis is LOVE. What every single soul in this world wants, needs and deserves is to KNOW they are love. To know we are wanted, that we belong, that there is a gentle, tender place for us, is the birth right of every single living thing. And to be able to give love fully, we first need to allow ourselves to receive love.
Clo is a living, thriving example of the healing power of love. She has never known, never been so conscious and aware and allowed herself to deeply feel, how much love there is for her in this world. Now she knows. And she is healing.
Let others love you. Really! I can just hear you saying, "Of course, I will let myself be loved, but I need someone who will do it!" Let yourself see and feel and absorbed and accept and welcome what IS. Slide right over what isn't. Others may love you differently then you think you want to be loved. Let the sunshine in. Let well being surround you. Let good intentions fill you full. LET it happening. Love is happening everywhere, and we often miss it. There is love in music, in the clouds, in the wind, in animals, in doing good work, in receiving and preparing good food, in every smile, in tummy aching laughter, in the sunset or bird song, or a child's eyes. Don't miss it. It is everywhere.
Each night before you fall asleep remind yourself: Today I felt loved when......Today I felt loving when...... Watch your list grown with each night. Love yourself.
Hugs, Nancy
