We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.
But, how sad when love is not returned. Your vulnerability is out there, naked, raw and you have shown how undone you can become even if just for a brief moment. What will the next step be? You, the vulnerable one has to decide and decide very quick because you cannot go on by withholding yourself from breathing.
Because you've shown how naked you can be for someone and receiving nothing in return, is vulnerability really the birthplace of love, belonging, joy courage, empathy and creativity? Will you still allow it to be the place of hope, accountability, and authenticity?
DECIDE!!!
Yet, you know...
When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.
Is that what you finally choose to still believe?
