I know... I know... the title has already been used, but somehow I kept on writing and could not find a better description...
As this Alter Ego evolves (Please Note: there is no such thing as a new day without a new lesson), I realize the power that lies within (OMG: that just sounded like a Star Wars quote...), so my little Padawans: today I attempt (Again Please note: attempt) to talk about L-O-V-E! Lovers love! Passionate love!
It seems logical that when one does not know what something is, one should look for it on the dictionary:
Love: A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH...NOT CLOSE ENOUGH... NOT LOVE!
Love has never been to Jedi Valerie just a feeling, love is everything and everyone. Love is like air, it is omnipresent! I cannot stop loving my parents, my siblings, my friends.. so why is it so hard for us to understand lovers love?
And here comes the demons...
How to recognize lovers-love when one soul has never truly felt it? Many Jedis have gotten what they expect it to be, but it turned out not to be the real-thing, they realized it was just an illusion and illusions A.K.A “relationships” have given us an unexpected wisdom... because relationships are not measured in time, but in lessons learned (Gracias a Dios! hahahaha)
Is a rose ashamed of its thorns? Lately, when someone asks us about our life, we try to refer to it as the history of our lessons learned, each one allowing us to separate from our ego (which only separates us from wisdom) and the power of the DEMONS: fear to get hurt (again), rationalizations, prejudices, every day distractions (from a Hair Salon appointment to finalizing that report the board asked for last month) and the worst of all DENIAL: the act of not seeing what is right before your eyes, because your really don’t want to see!
Feeling love, same as meeting our destiny, only requires us to exist! Sure, the logical left part of the brain will always interfere with the intuitive left part of the brain, pero el amor deberia ser la corazonada mas fuerte. FREE WILL AND DESTINY CAN COEXIST, We do not worry about meeting our soul mate that is a matter of destiny, in this life of the next it will occur, our fear is that after ¨the meeting¨ the free will of both will rule and us humans have learned to make decisions based on the mind and all of its fears and prejudices, when the best choice should be based on L-O-V-E!
And even if I try to keep my Jedi sword ready...sometimes life’s most significant events are upon us before we are aware of them...like Emperador Palapatine evil plans for the Galaxy (hahahaha) and that cute little green fellow: Yoda! ...how could the FORCE not have noticed something of such magnitude when the Empire was a stake! The camouflage is always physiological.
We are starving for Love and the beauty of being surprised; and NEED TO BE SWEPT AWAY and I pray for a power more creative than my fears to prevail, because FEAR always find a way to materialize...aunque solo seamos nojotras (sip...nojotras) tratando de atar cabos sueltos al estilo Sherlock Holmes con nuestras amigas, el resultado siempre ha sido: ELEMENTAL MI QUERIDO WATSON! siempre supimos que era un Patán!
When allowed to flow freely love overcomes all obstacles, cause after all ONLY LOVE IS REAL.
Waiting for my free will not to
interfere with my destiny
and without a material illusion to sabotage,
this Alter Ego hopes to have
a wet dream tonight with HOPE!
