Love is letting Go … (07/27/11)
“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of Love …
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your Souls.” ~ Kahlil Gibran
Gibran is truly fantabulous … Of course, this quote alone is quite misleading,
as it might tempt some to think he is saying that we are to avoid courageous intimacy and simply “live our own lives” with love in our hearts.
This is NOT what Gibran’s “The Prophet” is about!!!
It’s the same mistake many make when they speak about “detachment”, thinking that it means to stop caring altogether.
It is impossible to let Love be “a moving sea between the shores of your Souls” if that sea is at rest.
Yes, we are to let go of our loved ones in order to let them blossom in their own unique ways —
AND YET there must be active LOVE between those loved ones to allow that letting go to occur.
“Life is a long experience of suffering, disappointment & chaos.
But the moment you stop squirming against the catastrophe of being alive,
music flies forth from the mess.” ~ Uncle Cullen (from the movie “Uncorked”)
