To allow yourself to be loved in this
way a part of you must die.
Everything you thought you weren’t
must be surrendered.
You must let go of the stories of the
unlovable one, the awakened one,
the special one, the imperfect one,
and the despairing one.
Love wishes to reveal your
nakedness, to remove your clothing,
and to burn away all that is false and
less than whole within you.
What you are is a raging firestorm of
creativity, sensuality, openness,
warmth and kindness.
Love will never stop until you know
this.
If you will allow her or him, the
beloved will show you the infinite
ways that your heart is at risk of
breaking open in any moment and
never, ever being put back together
again.
She will plead with you to let it all go,
to fall on the ground and to allow
yourself to fall apart, so she can show
you that you were never, ever
together to begin with.
She will reveal to you that this raw,
tender, vulnerable open heart that
you feel beating inside you – right
here and right now – that this is your
gift to the world.
