:: Rain has started a series of soul prompts ::
This week is an invitation for all vulnerable and haunted hearts.
…
This prompt has not been easy for me to answer. Or perhaps, I have not been ready to speak my uneasy answer.
I want to say that love constantly pours through me and I feel it. But in truth, I feel that my performance controls the love given. As I rise and fall, so does love. Here, now gone.
I was taught that Jesus loving me is all I need. I’m just not sure what to do with such bright and shiny love.

Sing it like it is, in all its horror. Let the body move, clap, roar it out, cry it out, shout it out, fall on the floor weep it out — but face it like it is and let it go. :: Marion Woodman

you are brave to go where it isn't easy for you, dearest. love is such a tricky thing because it is attached to our vulnerability and all of our intimate places. sometimes resting in it, being, breathing love deep into our cells, is what gets us through even if we don't understand, or our side of it rises and falls.

loving you.
Thank you for sitting with me in the midst of my un-easy. Love definitely is “attached to our vulnerability and all of our intimate places” It has been hard for me to put these words down and then to leave them for others to read {really hard!} But this is part of loving and accepting myself, which I hope will make it easier to open to the love and acceptance around me. … xo
That is a hard prompt – I’ve been thinking about it a lot since you posted. Lately, I have felt crazy loved when my husband – twice now – has said that he trusts my judgement when he is uncomfortable about a situation. (This last time, we took one of our students in for the long weekend who is having some psychosomatic seizures and some ugly custody battles for her). He is uncomfortable, but have me his full confidence – and I felt loved, really thoroughly. His trust in my inner conviction really moved me deeply.
I love you.
“His trust in my inner conviction” – That is a beautiful and sacred example of love. I love you, too.
