Love is not a cage

True, deep longing love desires the very best for the person who receives our affections,

even if in achieving their highest form and happiness they are taken away.

The highest form of love is not a cage,

but the open sky.

The highest test of this love is letting go and trusting everything will happen for the best.

The highest and most divine love is a form of non-striving and trust.

Letting go instead of trying to control.

Even if letting go rends your heart in two,

let it bleed and continue to love till you can smile.

You’re the Ghost

YOU’RE THE GHOST

There’s a part of the grieving process,

where your soul kind of leaves your body too.

As though it’s off searching for the one you lost,

somewhere in the ether.

You walk around,

doing all the right things,

putting one foot in front of the other,

living,

but it’s really as though you’re the ghost.

Perhaps you are.

Perhaps your soul searches,

until you find the one you miss,

and they tell you to go back and live.

So, when that numbness passes brave one,

maybe it’s time to do what you are told,

go back and live,

twice as hard.

You don’t belong there in the ether,

nor do you need to search for the one you lost,

they find you.

And when they do, you’ll feel it.

Updating Current Energy 8/16

It’s feeling quantum again and what he speaks to is true to me , repeated many times in many resources besides just feeling it !

My journey including following a writer for years until she changed life paths and she was extremely tuned in to energies . Karen spoke of the 11% of world population to create this evolutionary leap/shift/recreation . We have had that for years and all is in alignment as necessary healing of not only personal trauma but ancestral trauma , as we own our new earth created and the Age of Aquarius , does provide the dawning of consciousness unlike has been the earthly experience .

It is sad to accept that not everyone is or will wake to the beauty of these days . Fear cost me and my pledge in 2016 has been renewed many times , as I clear past that is daily a factor in matters that deserve to be clarified truthfully and business matters legally addressed .

The effort has been proved as tool to keep me compliant , quiet , and living grief that would drive me to suicide .

The effort failed ; it was not the loss of a husband that has been my grief … it was the behavior of an abuser that seemed to be accepted as my having deserved the abuse, secrets , lies , indiscretion’s and thus disadvantage , spiritually , physically , mentally and financially. I would not appeal to other men and thus still his to manipulate .

I released this energy long ago and had faith for change for the better .

Assured Thy Will is Done , I am unto myself , resting and holding faith that completion of a cycle of detachment and distortion as attachment , trust and acceptance of grace for those Beloveds in my life with a hand on my back ❤️🙏

I am very grateful and wish each person Godspeed and no more repeats of cycles for our efforts 👁👍🎯🙊🙉🙈

Blessings & Peace

Relationships ; Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell on MONOGAMY:

“I don’t know if I’ve learned anything yet.

I did learn how to have a happy home, but I consider myself fortunate in that regard because I could’ve rolled right by it.

Everybody has a superficial side and a deep side, but this culture doesn’t place much value on depth — we don’t have shamans or soothsayers, and depth isn’t encouraged or understood. Surrounded by this shallow, glossy society we develop a shallow side, too, and we become attracted to fluff. That’s reflected in the fact that this culture sets up an addiction to romance based on insecurity — the uncertainty of whether or not you’re truly united with the object of your obsession is the rush people get hooked on. I’ve seen this pattern so much in myself and my friends and some people never get off that line.

But along with developing my superficial side, I always nurtured a deeper longing, so even when I was falling into the trap of that other kind of love, I was hip to what I was doing. I recently read an article in Esquire magazine called ‘The End of Sex,’ that said something that struck me as very true. It said: “If you want endless repetition, see a lot of different people. If you want infinite variety, stay with one.” What happens when you date is you run all your best moves and tell all your best stories — and in a way, that routine is a method for falling in love with yourself over and over.

You can’t do that with a longtime mate because he knows all that old material. With a long relationship, things die then are rekindled, and that shared process of rebirth deepens the love. It’s hard work, though, and a lot of people run at the first sign of trouble. You’re with this person, and suddenly you look like an asshole to them or they look like an asshole to you — it’s unpleasant, but if you can get through it you get closer and you learn a way of loving that’s different from the neurotic love enshrined in movies. It’s warmer and has more padding to it.”
