Loving Deeper

Being a loving human means understanding yourself enough to be curious about where you can learn where your opportunities to love deeper are. Loving deeper means loving wholeheartedly with true acceptance, with the inner knowingness that sending love to another, to ourselves, to Gaia, is an act of love that need not be reciprocated. We are all connected to one another by energy and by proximity and by our elements, and we sometimes think that love demands loving support back. But that is not loving deeper. Loving deeper means accepting oneself to know where one’s boundaries are and loving deeper another means really looking into their soul and seeing all parts unafraid and without judgment. Judgement makes one love very shallowly. Its not the way to dig deeper and to stare at the parts of ourself or another that are uncomfortable. Loving deeper is staring at the parts of ourself or another and being unafraid of whats there. Of being unafraid of seeing something that we do not like, or that does resonate with us, or that makes us have big feelings about it. We do not have to like those parts, but we are invited to accept those parts, and acceptance means being unafraid of staying close or going away without any fear of loss. We can love deeply another that we do not resonate with on many things, but that does not mean we have to stay close by to them. We can love deeply someone who is completely different from us, but that does not mean we have to stay close by to them. Loving deeply others who do not resonate with us and staying away with respect is the most loving act we can do sometimes. We love deeper when we know our own boundaries better. We can love deeper when we understand our own feelings and our own judgements better. We can love deeper when we do not judge ourselves for our own judgments. This is all an unraveling process of loving deeper. When we love deeper we unearth things we do not like. We are asking to unearth things we do not like when we love deeper. This is the nature of going deeper. And when we have gone so deep that all we see is the deep dark void of Nothingness, then we know that we have reached true acceptance. Then we know that we can be here now without being afraid of what we might see or hear in another, or in ourself. We all started as Nothingness, and we are all searching to go back home, to that place of true acceptance where Nothingness is Everything. Its all a matter of digging deep into our own hearts and being unafraid of what we might find. So be it.
