Life is a crazy thing at times. How do you walk away from what you know is the right path? When do you know that you are making the right choice for yourself or for others? How do you separate running away from just running?
Life is meant to be shared and to teach you how we are all connected. How can you feel the connection with the Divine if you lock yourself away from the world? Love is the essence of the lessons we are here to learn. Were we not told to "Love our neighbors" and to see the kingdom of God through service? How can you do this locked away in a cloister?
Truly it is better to love and lose compared to never loving. I have been very blessed by the relationships in my life. I have even tried to look beyond the conditions that some I have loved have imposed. I also know the pain that loving someone who doesn't love you completely retards the grown in one's own life.
Through it all you have to keep the dream alive and pray that you will be open for when the opportunity comes along. But how do you release a dream once it takes root?
There is no answer to my rambling thoughts for today. I must trust in the Divine to help me find the answers I need. Life changes all the time and hiding in a cave is not going to help find the answers.
Sometimes a retreating is a move to help gather strength. Maybe it is a time to return to the cave to let a storm pass. But how can I be sure the storm is not giving the heart the nourishment it really needs?
