I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Love

"The fullness you seek as a woman is only approximated by filling your body with sweets, children and a good man.  Unless you also practice opening directly as love, you will oblige sweets, children and your man to give you something they cannot give you.   Even shopping cannot fill your heart's emptiness- at least not for very long!   Don't submit merely to your man's love or your children's love or the love you feel when you eat your favorite food.   To find true and lasting fulfillment, submit to the eternal love of which these are only approximates that come and go.   No matter how hurt your heart feels, no matter how adored you feel by your man, surrender open.   Open your heart, relax your body, breathe down to your toes.   Practice living as bright love, radiating love, breathing love, until romance and rejection are just ornaments you wear to suit your mood."   David Deida
