 Where is the love?
-
Mary Bourque
In the midst of all craziness and chaos lies love. Sitting there to be acknowledged not making a sound. It creeps up from you deep within a place in your heart that hasn’t forgotten. All that reigns inside of you never retreats. Love is like a balm of cool fresh air as it caresses your face on a hot August morning. It feels so good and brings you back to reality. This reality called love isn’t fake or disguised. It is real, just as you and I are.
What you thought you could hide you can’t. It always wants to survive and be known. Even a glimpse of it comes through on your darkest days. It is ingrained in our being; you can’t get rid of it. This spark of light flickers and flashes with resilience only in death does it chance places.
Don’t be fooled by imitations of love this comes in many shapes and sizes. Lust, puppy love, infatuation to name a few. But true love stays with you forever. Even when the going gets tough this love doesn’t desert you. This deep inner love comes from the heart. The heart of God surrounds you and embraces you like a big wool scarf wrapped around your neck from a cold winter night.
So embrace this spark and light the light of love within yourself because life is to be cherished not burdened. Life is to be appreciated not judged. What a gift we have before our eyes waiting to be acknowledged. The gift of love is the best gift we can give ourselves because if we love ourselves for all we are, we can love others for who they are.
