Thoughts for Tonight

April 29th, 2015

"Love is that which enables choice.

 Love is always stronger than fear. 

Always choose on the basis of Love."  

                                                                                (F. Landry) 

...and it begins with honest love and respect of self. There is where the gentleness toward all else is born. We can not hate ourselves and pretend love, complete, for others...I don't think. Knowing our failures and foibles, the achievement of self-love teaches us love for all else, as we can then understand that nothing is perfect, and our love going out is not dependent on others' perfect behaviour. Love of the imperfect, especially that which lies within us (which we know so well, and impotently lament without avail) is a key to deep understanding of the universal condition of  l-i-f-e. 

I will struggle with it for the rest of the days I am granted, but I will NOT stop plodding...working...yearning, and practicing healthy actions. It is the only way to have a dignified life, one that demonstrates  respect for what is real and true. To die a whining, insecure jellyfish is the biggest disrespect for all the posibilities, chances, and opportunities that we -- every one of us -- are given. FORWARD. You can not hate youself into self love,  and, as my guru would say, very tenderly, "Stop it." 

Love to all today, Joana
