I just had to write this to Shar'
I quote from an obituary found in today's Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin newspaper, albeit, it was in regards to a young man from Raleigh, NC. It is in reference to 22yr old Andrew Edward Katchuk's death. It reads in part: "Being such a kind and sensitive soul required him at times to armor himself to the pain of feeling so much love in his heart."
How sad! How true! How I can empathize! How it resonates with me!
I don't know how he felt AND I feel the same way....sometimes!
The feeling, the thought, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant knew when they wrote the song....Nazareth sings it with the energy of pain n knowing....I dare say we all have felt it sometime or other in our life...LOVE HURTS!
Hummmmmmm so is that blaming LOVE?
What about putting the blame {then of course forgiving it} on ourselves?
Huhhhh? Is that the response I hear?
Allow me to clarify....
We blame innocent LOVE...Why? Isn't Love suppose to be:"Love is patient, kind etc. you know that verse....
The blame belongs to us...for not loving ourselves first...yet that is still blaming.
Solution: Allow yourself SELF-LOVE....I've heard n sorry to say I don't know who gets credit for this statement...."you can't love someone else before you love yourself." I totally disagreed with that a number of yrs. ago AND now I totally agree only because I had to honestly experience it to come to know the TRUTH.
Really, is this Eckhart Tolle's idea of the "pain body" n is that why most people live from the ego...to armor themself from their
insecurities,low self esteem,the lack of feeling worthy....from not knowing SELF-LOVE?
No wonder so many are walking about on Earth in an ego shroud!
What if we flip it around n all discover our SELF-LOVE so we can all share this Earthly life living from the Spirit?! PEACE at last!
I am taking my responsibility....working on me AND willing to empower others to heal their broken hearts so they too manifest SELF-LOVE!
Until that day arrives...."In the Meantime:Finding Yourself and the Love You Want" as Iyanla Vanzant has written.... Andrew Edward Katchuk AND family; My gratitude for such a beautifully composed tribute to your relative AND my condolences AND LOVE!
Sincerely in Spirit,
Sharon
