To be so heart-centred in your love is an inspiration to me. Your wife is truly blessed to have you in her life :) Actually on the way home tonight I was mulling over what I had written (as you do!) and came back in here to say to Sweetsong that I hoped I hadn't come over as preachie and holier than thou .... it is always easier advising others than giving ourselves that same advice. Maybe that's because we are not so constricted by the confines of our emotions when trying to help another. Believe me, i struggle with staying heart-centred and loving every day of my life. Only recently I felt bad because i was unkind to someone I love dearly through no fault of their own. I was aware at the time what i was doing but because I was feeling stressed and tired, i took it out on them. That doesn't excuse me in the least, but I just want Sweetsong to know, so it might help her to see that when people are being hurtful, it is often due to their own issues and weaknesses, rather than any reflection on herself. I did beat myself up about it for a while - you see, not taking my own advice again, LOL - and it took the wise words of a friend to ease up on myself. Like I said before, we all mess up now and then - all we can do is keep on forgiving ourselves and each other and remember that despite the bad bits, there are also many beautiful and wonderful things to enjoy on this journey of ours :) Rowan x [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 25/01/07 18:00 Beautiful post Rowan and I echo your words. As for livejournal and your reasons for joining it. I cannot see that it will bring you peace. It may be that your interest in being around this guy has an obsessive quality to it - understandable as you are in love with this man. However, being around someone from a distance who is out of reach is going to hurt you more. Sometimes we want to hold on because on some level it feels are efforts will work but in my experience the universe does not work that way....... It sounds like lurking at that community without joining it is like sitting on the edge of an emotional whirlpool, the longer you stay, it could become difficult to paddle back out sweetheart.... How would it feel to gradually try to let go of this guy and turn towards your beautiful self, beautiful new experiences and wonderful new people? peace zenwind [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
