When it comes to love, do you know what you want, or need?

And, do you feel you deserve what you want or need? I wish I could feel fully deserving of true love and feel like what I want or desire is O.K. for me to one day actually have or obtain ...

  • Dear BayBreeze,
    Sometimes I go to poets and mystics when words fail me for the wonder I feel...yes I know what I want from love, what I need...and this also is what I aspire to give, (Shakespeare HAMLET):

    Doubt thou the stars are fire;
    Doubt that the sun doth move;
    Doubt truth to be a liar;
    But never doubt I love.

    * * *
    And then a special prayer for you, please forgive me if you saw it already it is the 2nd time I posted it tonight!

    “Oh God, help me believe the truth about myself, no matter how wonderful it is.”

  • I also learn much from the poets and mystics. They're out of fashion just now. Maybe one day they'll make a triumphant return.

    Such wonderful poetry V, thank you *hugggs. I really loved that quote too!!! Wow. It's like we (esp. me) are afraid to know if there IS anything truly good and wonderful about one's own self... like we just wouldn't deserve to be that or know it- yet I love that quote by Dr. Dyer 'I Am.' He even says you could go as far to say in truth, 'I am God' ... it was powerful.. yet it is so hard to FULLY believe it :/  Meaning you are the wonder and awe of the universe /God/Source itself. Thanks for always having awesome answers V  :)

  • Love is double sided. To get you also have to give. It's worth the effort.
