Room for Love
I don’t know everything and I don’t have all the answers even though I sometimes act like I do. When I do it’s inevitably because I’m afraid. I’m afraid that I won’t be heard, that my needs won’t be considered. I’m afraid that I will be trampled on and discarded, that I don’t matter. I’ve had plenty of experience of that very thing happening….in the past. When I act like I know everything and have all the answers I am letting the negativity of the past contaminate the right here and now.
Last night I dreamed that I had a stinky boil on my elbow; you know that part of the body that bends. I don’t always want to bend. I can be a little stubborn, not because I have the insight track on anything but for the sake of it. I want to be right to be right. It is a misguided attempt to feel like I have value, that I belong, that I am safe. The irony is that when I dig my heels in and don’t listen, when I don’t give others the value and the feeling of belonging that I want I don’t get it either. Acting like I know everything and have all the answers when I don’t shuts off the flow of energy between my self and other people and between my self and the universe. When I act like a kid with her arms crossed and glaring at the world I shut myself off from what I need most, wisdom.
I don’t know everything. I don’t have all the answers. When I am free of fear and negativity I have open heart and know the truth of that. When I am free of fear and negativity I listen with my heart. I am open, expansive and joyous. There is room for others, for different points of views, different ways of solving problems. There is room for love.
