We Are Made In Love

That’s our home base.

Our earthly excursion into this physical life where we worry about indifference, about isolation, about approval, acceptance and even prestige is all centered around love and its imagined absence. We keep trying to get to a sense of unity with our deepest selves and with a sense of worthiness. We want to be affirmed and loved for our real being.

It’s a conundrum, because we have often lost touch with who we in fact are. We are conditioned quite young to falsify ourselves for that all important love we sought, a love that may have been conditional on certain kinds of outward show.

Love can be reduced to empty forms.

Losing touch with our most alive self puts us at a distance from love, Finding our way back entails loving ourselves. It entails knowing ourselves at the most basic level, taking a real interest in what we are.

If we can do that, we paradoxically don’t need to seek to be loved and yet we become more loveable.

We come into a world of influences pressing on us. We are shaped by family, culture and time. Within that is a soul with a gift. Each soul has a mission to give a gift to the world. Being out of touch with ourselves makes that impossible.

We wander, we wonder why we came. We may leave early.
