The question is not whether he loves me enough. The question is whether I am prepared to love him the way he deserves to be loved. The question is whether I have poured enough love into my own heart, my own being to be filled to overflowing. It is the overflow, the more-love-than-I can-possibly-use-for-myself that will create the lake of love for him to swim in. The question is not whether she loves you enough. The question is whether you have done everything you possibly can to deserve her love. Her love is a gift. Her love is a grail. Her love is the jeweled chalice that receives the purified elixir of the heart in touch with itself. The heart that knows love starts at its own center and ripples outward. The heart that honors itself first, knowing from experience how best to honor another heart with love.
The question is never whether the love without is enough. It is always whether the love within is enough. If it is, if there is love to spare and share and fill the lake, there is no question.
What an insightful post. Sometimes we forget to think this way. Nice reminder. I love your rose photo! Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteI tagged you for a meme in my journal, just thought I should let you know. It's okay if you aren't interested in doing it. I won't get my feelings hurt. I just thought it would be a nice way to get to know you a bit better :).
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
