We can only ever give of what we are Samantha. And if our hearts are in pain and blocking, we can only ever give of that level. Some days a little opened, some days a little blocked. But the dragon…that is our fear.
An important thing you spoke of is…we can only ever give of something we understand. If I ask you to cook an egg, you will gladly, easily whip one up because you have experienced it and understand. But if I ask you to go fix the broken Starliner up in space…you won’t have a clue, you’ve never experienced it so have no idea what it entails. Love is the same.
If I ask you to love me, you will do it with all your heart. But not realizing that the inner dragon (fear), has limited it in some way, as it does to us all. But as you so beautifully said, if you face your fear, break through the experience of it, and then understand it in doing so…it loses its power over you because you now understand it because you have experienced that facing of it. And in that one instant of understanding, you will see from what it was built, see that it did have a great purpose in showing you what love was not, so that in now being fully opened, you can now understand what unconditional love truly is. You have now experienced and understood them both, and in doing so set yourself free.
It is a very profound moment when that weight is lifted from that understanding. Almost like that twinkle in your eye today, a heart almost smiling, words spoken unrestrained but gently. When you can truly give that love to another unrestricted, no longer afraid…of anything.
Great post kind lady, this one is definitely a keeper. Well, they all are, but this one slew the dragon. You have saved us all. Thank you π€β€οΈπ
I think the important bit is just that, to finally come through and begin to understand by joining those dots Samantha. Before that it feels like your heart is being torn to shreds and even just ‘thinking’ about it is such a crazy time. I hope it is slowly allowing your heart to move again kind lady, and allow a little light and freedom in that hope you hold. Big hugs, and may its wisdom of unconditional love be a little closer π€β€οΈπ
