#6. Choices in Love

"When two people are at one in their  
inner-most hearts, they shatter the 
strength of iron or bronze; and when 
two people understand each other in 
inner-most hearts, their worlds are 
sweet and strong, like the fragrance 
of orchids."  ( The I Ching )

Each day, we are presented with
new opportunities and challenges. 
As each moment unfolds, we either
react in Fear or respond from Love. 
Clarifying why, when, how and with 
whom we share energy, we become 
better discerning navigators of life. 

Assisting a family member in their
journey through addiction and living 
with a Mother with early dementia, 
clearly tests my patience levels and
my ability to love unconditionally.

When I feel myself reaching a limit 
of what I can handle with others, I try
to step back and become an observer. 
By disengaging, it is easier to not take 
the struggle of their story personally.

On this eve of a Blood Moon Eclipse, 
my inner-Shadow's Warrioress, has 
made herself know by stomping her  
feet at the edge of what sometimes 
feels like a very unstable situation. 

Without being sucked into the dark 
black holes, within the unconscious 
twisted nightmares of others, I fight  
to free the Light within my beloveds.  

What I surrender to this eclipse is 
my attachment to desired outcomes. 

If left un-eclipsed, any old pattern 
of desiring to help, to fulfill a need, 
could leave me frazzled,imbalanced. 

My inner-Codependent will be sent 
on vacation, if she tries to convince 
me that things will change "if only".

My inner- Sage reminds me that

I must Love Myself unconditionally,

first, before I Am present for others.
