Dreamcatcher: HUG! hug, hug, hug, hug, hug, hug, hug :P

HUG! hug, hug, hug, hug, hug, hug, hug :P

through the pain and suffering
through misunderstanding and confusion
we tend to write ourselves off
and through whatever difficult times we endure
we often leave our pain unnoticed

through the passing years that pain gestates
it shapeshifts itself through our emotions and actions
leads us to places that hurt us even more
and at the end of the day it weighs us down
mirroring itself through our dreams
which is then created into our next waking day

as children, had we the knowledge and guidance from our elders
we may have learned to love those parts of ourselves
we may have healed those wounds that were festering
when really all it needed was another soul,
another heart,
to simply say, "it's okay. that is what makes you, you."

would your perceptions of the world have changed?
would your perception of YOURSELF have changed?

take a second and breathe.
close your eyes and reach down into depths of your soul
go to those places that you had neglected
intentional or not
and shed some light onto that darkness
for then, you will see that there is only love there
the love that is continuing to fuel you to this day
and had you not been to those places
you would not be the amazing, beautiful and perfect soul you are right now.

there is not shame.
there is no guilt.

there are only the ideas that we create and hold on to
that stem from our past and propel into the future
and we unknowingly make it that way.

so please, remember to love yourself
for we are next in line to guide the newer generation.

spread the seeds of love.

Traditional symbols of love always express a duality in which the two
antagonistic elements are, nevertheless, reconciled. Thus, the Indian lingam, the Yang-Yin, or even the Cross, where the upright beam is the world-axis and Chinese
the cross-beam the world of phenomena. They are, in other words, symbols of a
conjunction, or the expression of the ultimate goal of true love: the elimination of
dualism and separation, uniting them in the mystic ‘centre’, the ‘unvarying mean’
of Far Eastern philosophy. The rose, the lotus flower, the heart, the irradiating
point—these are the most frequent symbols of this hidden centre; ‘hidden’ because it does not exist in space, although it is imagined as doing so, but denotes the
state achieved through the elimination of separation. The biological act of love
itself expresses this desire to die in the object of the desire, to dissolve in that
which is already dissolved. According to the Book of Baruch: ‘Erotic desire and
its satisfaction is the key to the origin of the world. Disappointment in love and
the revenge which follows in its wake are the root of all the evil and the selfishness
in this world. The whole of history is the work of love. Beings seek and find one
another; separate and hurt one another; and in the end, comes acute suffering
which leads to renunciation.’ Or to put it another way: Maya as opposed to
Lilith, illusion balanced by the serpent.
