RISKING IT ALL FOR LOVE

Version 2.0

© 2011 Howard McQueen

Feeling deeply what is running inside us

 opens us to mystically knowing the We-ness,

 the immensity of shared interconnectedness,

 the infinite richness of experiencing

  and expressing

 heart-felt sharing with fellow beings.

To be human is to be, at times, overwhelmed and fragmented.

We are all on a journey to uncover, to rediscover wholeness.

We recover our wholeness not so much in asking “why” as in asking the quality of life questions relating to “how”.

-         how to participate 

-         How to engage 

-         How to connect 

This is done by following the vibrant thread of what is organic and alive.

Put your boundaries to self at risk.

Let your willingness to experience what is seen and felt while at risk.

Then, let what is bottled up inside be fully expressed.

Allow the parts of you and your brothers and sisters

 that are cast in shadow, be seen and heard.

These parts are literally dying to cry out the pain,

 to feel and express the fullness and aliveness of being contained

 AND being human.

The riskiness all comes down to putting it all on the line,

 to feeling the sheer immensity in giving and receiving

 unconditional love.

Let your heart radiate and send out its tendrils.

Encourage your mind to fully align

 and get behind the constant

 out-picturing of the multitude of loving feelings born to arise,

 in accepting and loving exactly what is.

Bet it all on love,

 not an ignorant, self-serving desire for love.

Let it be the love that stirs and unites our communities and our family,

 kindles and ignites our hearts,

 infects everyone so they reach out and express

 their own unique sense of connectedness

 and sense of joining together as extended family.
