Tell the morning breeze
that you have seen my fiery heart.
Tell her that my heart's passion
has burned all the thorns on my path.
-Rumi
My heart's passion right now is love. And love is radiating my world from every direction. For me, love is the vehicle that is driving my dreams and ambitions to reality and it is making me a better person because of its presence.
This very day marks the week that I completely gave myself to love, and I am so ecstatic about it that I felt cyberspace needed a jingle to feel the impact. It has taken me about 5 years to begin to understand what true love really is, and I know I will continue to learn about what it is and I am excited to continue following the music of love, and hearing the unique song it sings for each and every one of us.
But what brings me here today, is that it has taken me about 5 years to really appreciate the different kinds of love, and how they can and cannot grow. And it has been about 3 years since I was touched by that naive, unknown, young, but genuine and true love. And because I was so blessed to experience such love at a young age and almost on my first try, I was given the misconception that love is easily found, easily reproduced. But I know now that that is so far from true.
As I have lived life inbetween, I admit I have been in love inbetween. But what I have come to realize is that in the past, regardless of my perceived awareness of my love, I have been afraid. I feared the consequences of loving somebody too deeply, and this fear inhibited my ability to fully experience my love and my fiery passions and my dreams.
Today I am not afraid of being hurt. Its gone. The fear. I feel light and I feel powerful. It is a beautiful and amazing feeling, and it coincidentally came on the same day a blossom on my orchid decided to show itself to the outside world. I feel like a flower. I really do, if I knew what a flower felt like, I am sure that is how I would feel. I have finally broken through and I feel liberated and one with the world's order. I am not distrustful. I am hopeful. My heart is saturated with love and there is no place for fear, and this letting go of of my worries-- "it has burned all the thorns on my path."
