Following the Love

“Jesus said, “Out of your Heart shall flow rivers of living water.”  John 7:38

Well, Hello! my dear friends.  It’s been awhile since we have shared space together, with the holidays filling our time and most of our energy.

Some wonderful things have been happening for me and it is time to share it all with you, my spiritual family.

Earlier this past year, I met a lovely man.  He and I saw right away that we were coming from the same page on all the important places in our lives.  His name is Steve Young and he lives in Maine.   Our common ground is the Heart lived in our lives and shared in our serving in the world.  Because we have both been very one pointed in our spiritual practice for many years, this foundation is solid for the both of us and has provided a firm ground for this next step in our lives … to share this Pure Love in relationship.

We have realized that this Love that we share honors the Wholeness that we each are ... as Kahil Gibran shares here …

      Let there be spaces in your togetherness,

      And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

      Love one another but make not a bond of love:

      Let it rather be a moving sea between 

the shores of your souls.

      Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

      Give one another of your bread 

but eat not from the same loaf.

      Sing and dance together and be joyous, 

but let each one of you be alone,

      Even as the strings of a lute are alone

      though they quiver with the same music.

      Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

      For only the hand of Life can contain your Hearts.

      And stand together, yet not too near together:

      For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

      And the oak tree and the cypress grow 

not in each other's shadow.

In this experience of deep Love, the Radiance of the Heart is shining It’s Light of Love into every facet of my (and his) life in an ordinary, yet extraordinary way.

From this common ground of Being, Steve and I have chosen to live the remainder of this Life together.  As two wholes aligned together in and as this Light of Pure Love, we are being married in August, here in Maine. 

Maine will now be our home after we are married.

I wanted my dear friends to hear this good news from me, directly.  I would love to receive your blessings on this union of Wholeness and Love.  And, I simply couldn’t wait to pour this Lightness of Love all over you!  It is like an infinite flow from the depths of Being coming forth and spilling over all in its wake … just as “living water,” this Love pours forth from our Heart simply fulfilling Itself.

As Kahil Gibran shares here …

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;

For Love is sufficient unto Love.

When you Love you should not say, "God is in my Heart,"

but rather,

I am in the Heart of God."

And think not you can direct the course of love,

if it finds you worthy,

directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill Itself.

Always, Heart to Heart,

Elizabeth
