"The light of love is always in us, no matter how cold
the flame. It is always present, waiting for the spark to ignite,
waiting for the heart to awaken."
Bell Hook
Once we learn to love the 'self', it is more plausible that someone else may love us. Recognizing personal strengths becomes the fuel for allowing the heart to take a risk of letting others see us. Hiding behind our fears, prevents the flow of authentic exchange which could be the basis for a love relationship.
Allowing ourselves to open freely, the opportunity for a loved one to communicate increases. The more we can connect, the stronger the bonds of intimacy. Acknowledging our own flaws and speaking honestly about them, builds bridges that otherwise could be destroyed. The truth as a foundation will endure conflict on a greater scale.
With trust, we are capable of finding middle ground rather than fault. When we endeavor to understand, judgment decreases. Individual healing tools move us closer together increasing ability to lower our guard and lean in. Become flexible in the art of strengthening bonds that will hold loved ones together.
