When someone needs you, will you be there…will you be present and offer yourself up for the occasion? Will you see yourself as the one who can help? If the silent pleas you can feel emanating from someones chest can’t seem to travel up and out through their mouths to form words, but you still know with all you heart your help is what they are asking for…tell me will you turn a blind eye to their cries? Will you pretend you don’t hear what they are asking for? Will you reject their so-called neediness or will you take a chance and embrace the being standing in front of you?
Will you recognize that as you reach out to touch another person that the creative act means you are simultaneously loving that broken
place in yourself, and for that matter the entire human race. because you know what you are seeing, what you are experiencing… what you are witnessing, may just happen to be you someday… probably HAS happened to you many times in your life where you wished for someone to pay attention and to see you as you really are.
Yes, you will take that risk that you may have not been able to before because you now realize that it is your only choice…and any situation you may encounter is designed soley for one purpose…to respond with all the love in your heart…the love for them, the love for you, the love you “have” then grows and expands past any boundaries within yourself that you may have grown to restrict within yourself.
Being compassionate, being sensitive, and GIVING are each qualities you were born with. Learning to love organically, learning to live with vulnerability is the only real thing we will ever be able to hold onto in this world. All else is fleeting but L O V E.
