i am healing. singing. crying. meditating. laughing. dancing. working my way thru my recent heartache. acknowledging that the way i may desire life/relationships to manifest, may not be the manner in which divinity intends it.
the beauty of this is as love in one form moves further from my reach, it makes apparent the love that surrounds me EVERYWHERE. family & friends supporting me 24/7 with unconditional love. favorite readings on love {The Prophet | Kahlil Gibran} finding their way back into my quiet thoughts. i even arrived at my Sangha sunday to realize that the teaching over the next few weeks would be on LOVE!
WOW. obviously what i am experiencing at present is as it should be. i am left committing myself {once again} to be kind to me & holding fast to the belief that i offer a love that is worth fighting for. worthy of dedication & some measure of patience. acknowledging that i am not perfect & not permitting those i love to expect me to be so. i am beautifully flawed too... Buddhism doesn't relieve me of being human.
i am thankful for experiencing love in the sweetest form & still holding fast to the belief that i will know it once again. i had not before AL & for that i am grateful. i now understand what i was missing.
so i leave you today, a bit quiet in spirit but nonetheless well... with another way that love enters into my space... thru enlightened quotes:
It is in this way that we must train ourselves: by liberation of the self through love. We will develop love, we will practice it, we will make it both a way and a basis, take our stand upon it, store it up, and thoroughly set it going. | Samyutta Nikaya
Peace & OM!:-)

I don't really have anything to add here except, know that you are loved and missed and it will be well..
and yes you are beautifully flawed and we love you for it.
