Love Without Expectation

So much of what we do is based on fear.  When we discover our lover we are filled with joy, and then we sabotage ourselves, worried, obsessing about his end.  What if when he leaves town, works on other projects he forgets us, disappears from our lives altogether?  What if we do something so stupid as to make him hate us?  What if he dies?  Then we fear what has always terrified us - that we will be left alone, alone, alone abandoned by the craving, beating visceral love we recognize as the only thing that's real.

We are never alone.

We've let our minds become sticky, clingy, constantly wanting, bogged down by an insecure, ego glue that must loosen.  Meanwhile, our true self waits below for freedom.

The truth is we are unbounded and unlimited.  Our lover encompasses us without bounds.  We are swimming in love, blanketed by it.  We cling because we forget the moment, the now where our lover's cry of satisfaction is real.  We can never become redundant to Him, the ultimate lover, our darling friend.


The challenge is to receive love without limit, without the clench - to open to real love, to be secure.
