Loved Ones
I see value and experience soul evolution in my intimate relationships. Those I love the most help me to see me. They pull on fears and passions, my dreams and desires, and bring them from unconsciousness to consciousness. My love for those I care about motivates me toward a kind of self-honesty that I might otherwise avoid. Because I love them and feel loved by them, I am willing to look at myself. Deep intimacy promotes growth.
I value my loved ones.
Big heart,
wide as a watermelon,
but wise as birth,
there is so much abundance
in the people I have…
and they know me,
they help me unravel,
they listen with ears made of conch shells
they speak back with the wine of the best region.
They are my staff.
They comfort me.
W. B. Yeats
