In the difficult and ongoing pursuit of finding at least a few answers on what is love, the meaning of life, what is connection, and what it is worth going for, there are at a point automatically coming up questions, induced through incidents in life, like:
Are we only loved when we perform?
Is it that we only deserve love when we are always delivering benefits to others?
Or do we have a right for being loved also when it's us who make mistakes?
What kind of people will turn away when at a point we simply can't perform at best, when we are too weak ourselves to direct everything in good ways, when it's simply us who are the ones in need of being carried, while usually we do carry others quite well?
And what kind of people will stay with us, also at the point when we simply are standing in front of a wall, when we are not finding ways out for a moment?
Who will stay with us when we have been staying with them, standing by their side always, at the point we are weak? Who will it be who carries us through that time when we have exhausted our energies and need a time to rest? And who will be strong enough just to endure also a little hardnesses for just a while until we have recovered, who will be looking into our eyes to realize how we are?
Who will softly caress our souls then when we are in need?
And who will just turn and run away, not caring what he leaves behind and how you are and feel while he or she was taking freely when you stayed there to support him or her when he/she was in need?
These are good questions to ask ourselves at certain stages in life.
The answers, deeply coming from the utmost innerst, will re-direct our path.
Love is light and light is love, though I dislike the esoteric taking over these terms, but so it is. Receiving a little love, a little light, when at a point all around looks like dark and we seem to not being able to make it, is as essential as providing such when others are in need.
It is fire who gives life to ice (said Waftrudnir).
And it is love which sees light and which will always go searching a light at the end of a tunnel and will overcome any constraints. It is us who need to allow. It is our will, our free decision.
The love someone is able to give us when we need, not only when we perform, is the most precious of all.
The 'love' and support that is given only as a reward for 'performing' or for benefits we constantly deliver, not from out of itself because it deeply wants to give itself, is nothing but a dangerous illusion.
Most often and unfortunately, it takes time and special occasions to find out what is this and what is that.
Sending a little love for those who also ask themselves such questions. And my answer is: Despite we are here to certainly have done our best from our side, we can not always be strong. We have the right, a natural right, to also at a point be weak and to wish there was someone taking over at that moment. Most often, this will not happen. But then we know who is. And who is not. For you, and me, a beautiful song performed by The Corrs.
Love,
