Sweet One,
Life Wants to Love You Just as the shifting sands of the desert dunes obscure and distort the path that was visible just a mere few hours before,
So too at times do the circumstances and happenings of our lives weave themselves into unrecognizable shapes and forms,
Changing the very fabric of everything we thought we knew.
Time and again this leaves us standing amidst the rubble of what once was,
Frantically grasping for even a fragment of what we had before and held dear.
As our familiar landscape is blown away,
Never to return,
We can become untethered and adrift,
Clambering around our new reality in the dark,
Stumbling and staggering,
Slipping and sliding,
All the while anxiously looking for someone or something definitive to guide us.
In these moments our wounding and conditioning is triggered,
Our nervous system is activated and we find ourselves unconsciously pivoting from one distraught moment to the next,
As we anxiously attempt to find center in the rising tide of our dread and uneasiness.
Yet,
Sweet one,
I want you to know that in these desperate times you are not alone.
This stretching thin and pulling taut of your existence is actually evidence that a greater force is composing a new song for you below the surface.
It is orchestrating a new life,
A new reality,
A divine concerto for your soul.
The frenzied chaos you feel is in fact life trying to crack you open and invite you into a bigger truth.
Offering you access to a wider perspective,
Bestowing on you the gift of a deeper knowing and the opportunity of a more purposeful existence.
In truth,
My love,
It is not that your life is falling apart.
It is that life is tired of living apart from you.
Life wants you to come home and rest your tired eyes,
To lay your burdens at its feet,
To offer up your angst and troubles into its warm embrace.
Cherished soul,
Life wants only to love you.
It knows you try so hard to do it all by yourself.
That you work yourself till you are bone weary,
That you berate yourself for not doing better,
And that you wish away your unruly messiness and untamable wildness.
Yet life sees that this is the true beauty that lives within you and it is asking that you allow the world to know you in this place.
In these troubled times,
Life is only searching for the places where you continue to live out of alignment with your truth,
Where you are not happy,
Where you are more concerned about what others think of you than what you think of you,
Where you hide when you want to shine,
Where you run away instead of receiving.
And life is earnestly offering you a way to do it differently.
Life knows you are made to live more,
To be more,
To love more.
This is the gift that life is trying to bestow upon you.
In these moments of uncharted change and disruption.
Everything is not against you,
My love.
Your soul and life are working on behalf of your wise heart and are clearing away the things that are no longer necessary so that you can live as you are intended to live.
Life is asking you to allow the dismantling of the old structures and landscapes.
Life knows you do not need them any longer.
That a brighter,
Fuller future awaits your embrace.
Life wants to be your guide and is pleading with you to surrender the parts of you that are still clinging to your need to be in control so that it can,
At last,
Flood in and support you.
So close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Feel the fullness of life that is in each breath.
Allow life to nourish you and hold you.
Give in to the gentle tug of your heart.
Let the walls come down and allow life to fill every corner of your being.
With each breath,
Let more of life into your body,
Into your heart,
Into your soul.
Feel it supporting you,
Cradling you,
Tending to you.
It is always here with you.
Life is always loving you.
That you let it in.
