It’s Valentine’s day so what more appropriate than to speak about the voice of love. The wonderful mystic and writer Rumi has this to say among many many other wonderful writings on Love:
Seek love, seek love, for it is the gem of your essence.
If Love is the Gem of our essence then we owe it to ourselves and to others to express all that we are which is pure love. Love is not always soft and touchy feely…. sometimes it is tough and sometimes we have to be tough with ourselves when we need to give ourselves love. Sometimes it’s hard to recognise which voice is which …. perhaps the only way is to open our hearts and face the demons which hold us prisoners in our own lives. Our true voice will never ask us to do anything which is damaging to ourselves. If we listen and follow the voice we will surely live in the moment, in the flow and live our true essence which is Love .
Shalom
