It's easy to feel insecure. We think if we let go we will be abandoned, but that is impossible. Fear is paralyzing - it coils in and through the gut. When I am afraid my jaw gets stiff (followed by everything else) and it feels as though I am grasping for something. I become unaware of the presence of it all. It's like clutching onto pain. In the pain state there isn't much I can do but duck, squirm, pace, grab onto something to relieve the pressure.
The longing is always there, within. It is a longing for the truth. It's not something a man or woman can fulfill exclusively because it has to do with love. The onus is on us. It feels like we are personally charged to take action.
It's helpful to be tender with ourselves, and then we can remember where we are, who we are - and live. Everything we seek is always there, available to us, non-exclusive. Everyone - always. All of us - together. And then instead of going into fear we realize the blessings. Blessed world, blessed now, blessed all. Awareness becomes the joy, the celebration, and we know ourselves as forever an effect of God.
