What do we all long for but to love and be loved in return? How is it that few of us find what we desire? Are we looking for love in all the wrong places? How about the people we choose to whole-heartedly give ourselves to and then find out that we have been betrayed? How is that few in our world find happiness in love?
Maybe it's because we need to first seek to love ourselves. Isn't that where this feeling comes from? Our inner work thus creates our outer reality. We can continue to give yet understand that others will let us down. Expectations are just that "expectations".
It helps to know that there will be weeds in our garden. We just need to pull those weeds early. This helps ensure that our flowers blossom and spread their fragrant beauty on the winds of change. After all, nothing remains constant except change.
So, we need to continue to love ourselves in order to be loved and know that love comes from within each of us. We can not control another person's choices regardless of wether we agree with their choices or not.
Perhaps our only option is to hold tight and cherish those rare moments of being in-love which are caught in between thoughts and reside in the “azure edge”.
