Just because you have been hurt please do not let that keep you from loving again, trusting again…living again….I know when we get hurt or we feel as though there is no such thing as pure love…We retreat to what is most comfortable; to the things that gives us the most security…We resort to…excuses…resentment…blame…and numbness…conscious and/or unconsciously…

Let’s just say for argument sake or for kicks…That the divine feminine was walking the earth…as a flesh and blood human…Born in to a earthly mother…but locked away because of her past…A past of lost love…lost hope…and lost understanding…She hides her self and lives a normal life as you do but do not reveal her self…because she is afraid…She remembered the time where those she loved caste her away…They were ashamed of her…She was expendable…The softness and gentles she portrayed was a nuisance…

Every time she would step out to shout; here I am…She would find that no words would come out of her mouth…Memories come rushing back to the time where…she was seen as a disease…a problem that needed to be rectified…She loves as a mother loves…she birthed a humanity that resented her presence….What is her next step…how should she proceed…Do she stay hidden…because she is afraid or should she allow love to find her…Should she return to the place…that caused her so much grief…Will she love again…or will she find an excuse not to….
Well I guess we all know the answer to this question…(smile) She returns inspite of the past…inspite of the hurt…and she returns to claim the love she lost….Her love runs endlessly and unconditionally….So I ask how deep is your love…

She could do as humans do and turn her back on those who hurt her…deceived her…but she knows better than that….She experienced pure love and when you do it keeps you coming back for more…and if you haven’t the idea should keep you searching…

We get so easily caught up in what happened to us…rather than what is possible…When we continuously carry the past with us; not able to heal it and let it go…or future ends up looking like our past…We cannot receive new things when our hands our occupied with the old things…

Take your time…and emerge from the murky waters….

“The white lotus, born in the water and grown in the water, rises beyond the water and remains unsoiled by the water.
Thus, monks, the [Buddha], born in the world, grown up in the world, after having conquered the world, remains unsoiled by the world.”(1)

“The lotus grows in the muddy water of still ponds and lakes. The magnificent blossom unfolds gradually, one petal at a time, till full-bloom in the morning when the sun's rays touch the flower. As the lotus awakens and blooms at the first rays of the morning sun, the interdependence between the lotus and the sun is a symbol of love.

The plant has its roots deep in the soil under water. The long, cylindrical stalk passes through the water and rises above the water's surface. The mud in which the lotus roots grow represents material life, while the water through which the stalk passes represents the astral world. When the plant reaches the surface of the water and opens its bud to the sun, it represents spiritual being.”(2)

So my fellow Lotuses…It is time to bloom…

Love…Truth and Balance
