surrender to love

Are you afraid to fully surrender to love when your mirror is reflected right before you.
Do you surrender to the duality of the light and dark within, or do you cut away after he or she opens the heart?

    Ahh, yes. Surrender is a funny word for love.
    Love is ever truth and ever abundant, but not always from the same source(s).
    I surrender to the moment. Sometimes they last a long time :) Sometimes it's the same person in several of my moments. And I ride the love as long as it makes sense to my own personal evolution...with respect for theirs.

    Mirrors. Yes. In La'Kesh is a Maya word for I am another YOurself. Technically, we are all mirrors. But it is obvious, especially when in a relationship for a long time, that we are not always on the same level. Like, you may be the mirror of me when I was 5, and I can nurture that, but not make love to that.

    And, if the mirror in front of me is too much like myself, I have lately discovered, I may pass it on.
    I LOVE me. * . But, I have enough of me. I'm just right in the moment, and another me is not what I want to embrace, a me which chooses different paths among the 3,000 realms of possibilities, but fun ones with integrity, is a better balance. I would rather embrace a me who is not doing the same things this me is doing. It sure beats co-dependency & getting mad at our mirrors for not reflecting ourselves, our motives, etc. That mirror is often confused amoung friends and relations as the self. I am not the image you percieve me, I am not the image of my partner.

    Embrace. I embrace the goddess in the mirror. And, if that goddess is in front of me in a diff. form, I will embrace. Sometimes the mirror doesn't need an embrace, it needs a compassionate smile and a swift, compassionate kick in the butt. ;)

    if someone cuts away after the heart is open, then my heart quickly recognizes that this is not the right person, and if they HAUNT you (definatly real) then they are capturing you with a vampiric net of psychic energy. You must renounce it rather than long for it. . . maybe after giving the person another chance to prove their bravery. For it is brave to embrace, and many of our US generation X & after have lost their bravery, and may never find it. ...

        Loving surrender, a submission based on trust, is the acceptance, respect, honor, admiration, vunerability and sharing of self with another.

          Sieze love frome wherever it comes. My best friend is someon I can wholeheartedly say that I have been in love with and who loved me back in return. And he already has a boyfriend and our relationship is platonic. No amount of sex could make that any better than it is now, but the love we share is as incredible as any I have ever encountered.

          LOVE TO ALL

            try and not define it
            it is alive and free
            don't cage it with words, philosophy, or concepts
            know and love thyself fully
            and then ALL you experience is love
            this is the way
            it is perception manifestation
            you can see what you like in anything
            choose love and that is what IS
            in any mirror
            if you choose to fragment

              Love is a two-edged sword from which we can never escape uncut...we come open into this world and learn that love can be painful. We can choose to close ourselves to its power; many have tried to do this by not forming relationships with others, or by acting indifferent to the 'other'. There is no 'other'...we are each reflections of ourselves...mirrors (as has been said here) that show us what we really look like. If we shatter that mirror, who is really hurt? We can re-connect to love of ourselves first, then with ever-widening arms, reach out to all who come into our circle. May the circl be unbroken...then the mirror will never shatter again. With that circle complete, the heart can truly remain open to all.

              Blessings, Debi
