As I was walking around today I found a book by Osho on how to love. Interestingly enough I almost bought it because guess for a second there, I thought I needed help in that arena. Recently divorced and with many changes going on in my life maybe a part of me need to be assured that I know how to love and somehow that book was going to show me the way. All of a sudden an awareness came over me and I thought to myself how can a book show me how to love? how can anyone tell me what I should do to love don't I have enough people in my life who show me their love every day and who I appreciate? Love is not something that can be achieved by reading a book by an enlightened teacher it is something that must be nourished, cherished and felt by the heart. One of the reason why I choose to leave was exactly that, once the love has been starved of it's nourishment (for me being respect, appreciation and trust) it is very hard to bring it back to life one has to commit all of the energies available to them to revive the spark that once united two souls. Love is a gift from God for us to enjoy and co-create life with joy in the short time we are on this planet it is to be taken seriously and delicately, in my opinion.
Most years I make a long list of "to do things" as soon as a new year starts, but this year my "to do" list is short, it states: "Follow your heart" where ever it may lead. Slowly I am learning to follow and listen to it's beating, because I know that my heart knows where I should go, even though my mind questions every single step I take, I have learned mostly to ignore the fears of my thoughts. Time will tell how things unfold but one thing I know for certain is that I know how to love.
