There are moments in our lives that we crave that person, that idea of that person, the wonderment of a deep love we may never have experienced but believe exists for us out there somewhere.
We miss something we’ve never had. We long for it. We chase it. We dream it. That soul deep urge we feel is often a distorted need to feel our own love. Of filling the spaces where our parents couldn’t love us. Of finding from without, a way to fill the emptiness we feel from within.
And so we follow this path to loving ourselves. Integrating our shadows. Healing our traumas. Forgiving our parents. Nurturing ourselves. Awakening. Bringing balance between our inner masculine and feminine. And finding that unity and wholeness within.
And in that process of committing to ourselves, we abandon that need for that connection to another person.
It becomes a nice to have. But never a need or a goal.
That wave of soul deep longing once felt for another person just hit me again. But not for a person. But for God/Divine Source/Creator/Universe. That deep deep love for Him/Them.
But this time, instead of lack or sadness, that longing was instantly met with love.
The dark stormy clouds outside of my window are lightening up as I write this with tears in my eyes.
That need and integration and devotion for His/Their love.
We know that separation is just an illusion. We just need to open ourselves to feeling that energetic glory of His/Their love.
What once, many years ago, was a deep and overwhelming gratitude and desire for another person is now magically replaced with This.
You know, Rumi never wrote about another person but for his love for God/Divine et al. But for so long and for so many, those deeply loving Rumi quotes get used in the context of a Divine Partnership with a person.
In this moment, I understand Rumi and his intentions behind his beautiful words.
There is truly nothing as beautiful as the love you feel from God/Universe/Creator/Divine Source. The faith that you’re always supported, safe, loved, protected, provided for. The invincibility of being so in love. We really are.
All those things we wished we could have had we had all along. It was always here. We were always loved. We are always loved. Infinitely.
And we all hold that capacity to love. To be loved and to love all. The cup runneth over.
We all have this connection. We all have this within ourselves. In our hearts. In our intentions. We have this with everything around us. We just need to stop searching for it. It’s here. It always was. And it’s so beautiful.
The irony of this journey is that we travel this path only to come back to the beginning to see we always had it. Like looking for the glasses we slipped on top of our heads.
But only through this journey can we truly see that.
And only through this journey can we appreciate that.
By loving our humanness, we can understand this love. And by understanding this love, we can love our humanness.
“If I love myself, I love you. If I love you, I love myself” -Rumi
