Hi Rache! I’ve been thinking about this topic quite a bit lately, how we can never “give” love to another since it’s literally just an energy that we feel inside our bodies. But I do think of others as expansive forces. When I interact with certain people in my life, the love or anger or annoyance in my body expands (or contracts), and while I don’t think we can ever “love another,” I really desire a romantic partnership that expands my capacity for love. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that there’s benefit in having an “external figure” to expand my inner capacity for love.

On a slightly different note, I view all of life simply as expansion of what’s possible—the extreme irritation I felt on Sunday when visiting an aunt, the boredom I felt at a recent party, the joy I felt returning to my Monday morning routine—yes, I allow myself to feel these emotions in the moment, but they all get logged as “expansion” once they pass. I think love for me might be the same; I can allow myself the feeling of ~being in love~, but then understand that the feeling of love circulating in my body is just a form of expansion (expansion potentially being the life force witnessing all the ways life can be lived/experienced).

This turned out rather long, but I recently discovered your essays and am reading as many as I can tonight! I hold much of the same understanding that you write about!

Hello my friend and fellow lady on the RISE. I love that we are in this together. Same Sorce Field. Likely similar transmissions.

The opportunity is to seek beyond your capacity and that will move you to the next level. There are already so many incredible humans I have encountered who have that ability, they just don’t even know it yet.

There are all these moments in life that we miss the cues because we are too busy. The way I am moving these days is like a snail unfurling from my shell. I want the vulnerability and the opportunity to expand into the great unknown. That makes you available to the energetic exchange all of it.

I am so glad you found me, and I you. Appreciate all that you have to offer and looking forward to continuing the dialogue!
