Completely Surrounded!

Was it that she was unaware it was happening or had she simply chosen to ignore it. The answer to that question was unclear and one on which she decided not to dwell on, but something was definitely out there and now she could almost feel it breathing down her neck.

The strange thing is that instead of being afraid. The presence of this thing was somehow soothing and comforting and a gentle reminder that she was not alone.

The disconcerting thing, however, was she couldn’t see it and never seemed to get close enough to touch it. She was beginning to believe that for some reason she was holding herself back. She was putting up barriers to bringing the ‘thing’ out into the open and robbing herself from making any real connection.
Why was she doing this? She didn’t know the answer, but as details of her past kept flooding through her mind she knew that it didn’t always have to be like this.

But she felt powerless to do anything about it and at the point she became resigned to the fact that this was how it was always going to be and that she should get used to being near but yet so far from the thing.

Then something happened and with minimal effort, the barriers were not only removed they were demolished and the thing came flooding through.

And as if by magic, a new day arrived and she knew that life would never be the same again!
What has any of this to do with you?

The thing referred to is ‘Love’ and whilst the story above mentions no one by name, the situation the woman found herself in is not dissimilar to the situation many of us find ourselves in everyday ‘afraid to love and be loved’.

We for seemingly good reasons, have closed the door on love and either reject it when it shows up (usually unconsciously) or release it only in small doses.  Love quite literally makes the world go round giving a new dimension and perspective when given the opportunity to flow freely and without it life is dull in comparison.

Absolutely anything you want in and from your life can probably be summed up as the answer to one of two fundamental needs:

1. To Love
2. To be loved

Love is more than romance, it is the positive flow of energy where you give willingly and openly regardless of ‘the perceived consequences’ and when the opportunity to receive presents itself you humbly and graciously accept it.

Let today be the beginning of a new day where you trample down the barriers and allow pure unconditional love to flow to and through you. Why not you deserve it!
