Love
Coming "Home"
Once upon a time I thought love was:
When two became one because we met each other needs.
Two people under the stars gazing as one at each other.
Then I discovered that I wanted to meet my needs myself.
As it was impossible for the other to meet all my individual needs.
I wished to become one or whole unto myself.
Together we took a peek at the stars.
What we saw was awe inspiring and we wanted more.
So we became two self-fulfilling beings sharing life as one.
Both staring at the stars together as one.
Now we wish to be one with the stars too.
To share in the beauty, the majesty and the awe.
This comes from being a ray of light in the other's life unconditionally aiding the other in their life choices irrespective of our own choices.
In the bringing of light to the significant other we learn that we bring light unto ourselves.
For we truly are one when we undertand that loving another is really simply loving oneself....
And all others.
For there is but one.
Then we will be one with the stars.
For me love is a process and as we shed expectations through self realisation our understanding of what love "is" evolves.
To discover that the romantic notion that love is about expectations, that maturing love is about honouring and respecting in partnership without expectation, and that the deepest love is in the sense of the Divine in relationship - simply put - "the All That Is" without a sense of separation.
The saga continues as understanding is not enough, knowing is not enough, only in the experiencing is oneness expressed - All That Is and will ever be.
It is a joy to share this journey with another being.
Even with the suffering.
Even with the angst.
The fear and the pain.
For it is a shared journey where each acts as a mirror for the other's soul.
That is the greatest gift of love.
Coming "home".
