I believe love is the ultimate expression
of our lives, so I asked the Universe why it was wasting my love by not
bringing me a partner. The Universe replied:
I already have
many people living love that way. I ask you to walk the road less travelled- to
live love, to be love without the usual anchors and mirrors.
I guess I always said I liked a challenge.
And it is.
True love (though I am not sure there is
any other kind) is generated from within- perhaps inspired and fuelled by those
around us, but it come from us, not to us. In theory, I can live a life full of
love on my own. In practice, I will tell you it is not easy.
I am not just talking about being happy on
my own, or finding contentment in life. This is not just enjoying things, but being in love with moments. I am talking about feeling love, real
love in an everyday way, without a partner or family to trigger and reflect it.
To actually feel love, not just remember
it, on my own is often a challenge. Some days I succeed, some days I have to
remind my self to try harder, some days I just want to tell the Universe to
shove the road!
But I keep trying. Because I believe in
love. I believe it is the ultimate expression of why we are here. And I believe
there are many versions. All true. I also believe my higher purpose was never
going to be the common road. So, someone has to trek the road where love is
explored through other ways. Not with a partner or children, but through
beauty, adventure, moments, self.
At the end of the day, we all get to choose
our inner world. So, I choose love. Over and over again. In small moments that
most people probably don’t need to see as being loveable. Tonight, I was in love with the sunset...A longer version of this blog is now on Elephant Journal- http://www.elephantjournal.com/2014/01/the-love-less-traveled-tui-anderson/
