Love is the disappearance of time, the disappearance of the story of 'relationship'; it is the open field in which true relationship becomes possible.
I still find it
difficult to make this switch from the 'old' way of thinking. What still makes
it hard for me is that even when you're in a long term relationship and you
realize there's only precious now - you can still get very depressed because of
the immense suffering your dying loved one has to go through.
Out beyond ideas of
Wrongdoing and right
doing,
There is a field.
I will meet you there.
-- Rumi
The illusion that love
is summed up in one particular person and the subsequent need to possess in
order not to 'lose' love.
Guilty of falling into that trap from time to time,
and grateful for the pain of inauthenticity that inevitably comes with it.
It's
like the pain is pushing to truly relate, each and every moment; again and
again and again...
The true partnership and
connection with our soul, is to be achieved through our ego. The ego is the
counterweight of our soul to bring about the understanding of our spirit.
