Love; it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
- Mumford and Sons, Sigh No More
Others can only give you glimpses to the depth and fullness of Love; for others also know how to take things away: innocence, hope and ironically, even love. Filtered and dispensed through imperfect people, Love can woo us closer and then abruptly leave us abandoned. We've smelled it's sweet aroma and have been repulsed by its foul stench. When left to manage on our own, Love plays games.
We feel foolish, silly, skeptical, angry, jaded, wounded, pissed, embittered, cynical, hurt.
We swear to the stars and vow to the heavens that we will not let "love" do this to us again. And so having tasted its fickle flavor we pass on its future offerings.
Yet this is not the true nature of Love.
Love given from the Source is free from all impurities. It has never been touched or tainted by another and it is given without a catch, a hitch, or strings attached. If you drink this Love from the Deep Well you will be forever refreshed.
More like you were made to be.
May you, in spite of past experience be open to receive from Love. May it quench your longing, free your pain, and imbold you to forgive.
