All we need is love, all we
have is love, love is the answer, love heals
all...
Love
as I know it to be true, is
the essence of life force energy. It is a substance that you can not physically
see as a form, yet is the source of life.
It is deeply buried within
most, as if it is a commodity that one can loose or gain, if only you know the
"right" way. It is thrown around by some in order to gain approval, or to
control and influence others. Yet, that which we seek to control or manipulate
with, hold back, spend, deny or otherwise be careless with, is not love. Love is
not a commodity. It is an energy, yet in its fullness it can not be comprehended
and dealt with as a
commodity.
It is much more than that, a
mystery of sorts, a deep, rich, powerful, timeless, eternal, mystery with many
facets-healing, answering, awakening,nurturing, calming, soothing, connecting.
Love is the energy of the Divine. It is the calling card of the Creator Spirit.
How has this kind of
love-true love- affected your
life?
There was a time in my own
life when all I had was love and in that moment I was able to touch the power of
the energy of love in a way that had been formerly elusive to me.
At this time in my life I
had given birth to my third child, a son. Seemingly healthy, a time for great
rejoicing. The love that is emitted from a new born baby can not help but affect
everyone in the vicinity. and most especially his mother! The love that I have
experienced for and from my children- each one - as they entered the world, is
Divine love. It's purity is its power. I am blessed to have experienced this
overwhelming purity of love each time I gave birth. This time however, this love
was to be my
lifeline.
Love as a lifeline. Have you
ever experienced love as a lifeline?
When my newborn son was
about 12 hours old, the news came to me. I knew somewhere inside of me that this
news would come, yet I was not prepared in the least to hold this devastating
information. That is when love stepped
in.
I was told my son had a
serious heart defect, would need open heart surgery and would be immediately
transferred to the hospital in the city via ambulance. What followed was a
flurry of activity that culminated with me at his side in the pediatric
intensive care unit in a major California Hospital. I heard the words come
through the cacophony of medical terminology like a bullet to my chest "your
baby is very sick."
This is when love stepped in
again.
I sat for hours at his side,
touching him when the tubes and medical devices did not allow for holding. I
held him and nursed him when I was able. I kept hearing the phrase "the healing
power of touch". I did not know where it came from then, now I know it was the
energy of love communicating to me. Directing me to touch my baby and it was
through this touch that love would
pass.
I held, touched and nursed
my son, or I just stood and watched him. Before, during and after his surgery
all I had was love.
The unconditional, pure,
powerful love that I knew as a mother was only the starting point for the power
of love that I got to know in those moments when my son's life was in the hands
of others.
When all I had was love, I
used it with all my might. I felt it surging through me. My heart was summoning
it, for me and for my baby. I felt held in it as I held him. I breathed it in
when the panic started to overwhelm me. I rested in it when my tired eyes would
not stay open one moment longer. I drank it in with each morsel I ate. It gave
me sustenance. Love gave me moments of sanity in the insanity of a hospital full
of sick children. The love I experienced from the source of all love was truly
what kept me alive. This is
love.
When all we have is love, in
times like these, when nothing, absolutely nothing gives you a sense of what is
right in the world, all we can do is turn to love. Turn into love, be the love,
open to love, feel the love, share the love, allow the love to heal, sustain.
In times like these it is time to get to know the energy of love coursing
through your veins, pumping through your body, mind and
spirit.
This love may be brought to
us, opened or remembered through the love we have for our children our lover, our friends, yet it is not them, nor is it from them. Love is a
given, it is the material we are made of. It is free. It is the well that
is within you, connected to the greater well of the source of all that is. You
know this love, we all know of it.
Remember this love in times
when you need to return home to the source within you.
All we ever have is love and
this rich, deep, profound life force energy is available to each and every one
of us at all times.
Blessings,
Mary
