Someone asked me once do you think we are loved by some source of life, or god?” and I responded rather, I think we ARE love. if we can just clear away all that keeps us from being that natural, individual and unique extension of it.” It has always been my life’s aspiration to clear the clouds that keep me from the true essence of what I am…knowing that running from the fear voices, or trying to get rid of” the parts I am afraid of doesn’t work. But rather by sitting with it, giving it room to breathe, not fighting it….turning toward it, ideally with fascination. once that resistance is gone, once I truly surrender to all the parts of my own humanity, all that is left is that which i/we are: LOVE. so rather than trying” to be more loving, I’d rather spend my energy is investigating that which distracts me from that which is always, eternally there.

I think you’re right, Alanis. We are Love but so many things distract us from our true essence. We look at external sources to guide us whether it’s a god, parent, government, teacher, etc. when really we need to take matters into our own hands. For far too long we have given away our power to others, others who might have an agenda or abuse our naivety. We are the god we are looking for, we are the love we are looking for. We could all be that for each other if we all played our part and shared our authentic, vulnerable selves.
I think this is one of the answers I’ve been looking for so long!!
Thanks Alanis!!!
Self acceptance is the thing that I need more right now, and Ive needed for a long while.
Love to learn some wisdom when I think everything is senseless or falling apart.
