I am learning, as I grow, about our human relationships and why we enter into them… and of course I very quickly come across our need for reassurance, our need to know that it will last, our need to make it last.
I am learning about love. Not the “luv” we grew up with, but relationships as true instruments of healing, as true and honest reflections of who we really are, not the stagnant ponds in which we try desperately to see our reflections…
I am trying to grow beyond the need for reassurance, the need to know that I am loved to that place where love flows freely like water.
And of course I attract to me people and information to broaden my vision, and I want to share some thoughts with you today.
And the words of Walsch come to mind (from his “Conversations with God, No. 1″.):
“Relationship ‚Äì your relationship with all things ‚Äì was created as your perfect tool in the work of your soul. That is why all human relationships are sacred ground. It is why every personal relationship is holy.
. . . . Never do anything in relationship out of a sense of obligation. Do whatever you do out of a sense of the glorious opportunity your relationship affords you to decide, and to be, Who You Really Are.”
I can hear that ‚Äì yet over and over in my relationships I have given up when the going gets tough. The result is that I’ve had a string of relationships where I thought, as a kid, that I’d have only one. I don’t seem to know what it’s like to hold onto a relationship. Do you think it will ever happen? What do I have to do to make it happen?
“You make it sound as if holding onto a relationship means it’s been a success. Try not to confuse longevity with a job well done. Remember, your job on the planet is not to see how long you can stay in relationship, it’s to decide, and experience, Who You Really Are.”
And so we are all learning Who We Really Are – moving gently towards Ourselves, seeing Ourselves in the mirror of those who love us. And guarantees make me think of no growth, as we try to fix ourselves at a certain moment in time, to make sure that it lasts. If we can move towards focusing inwards, towards understanding that all change comes from inside us, and then take our focus off those who we expect to make us happy – what freedom we give them, to be who They Are, to do their own growing.
