What Clarity Shows us about Love Posted Feb 4, 2011 11:51 AM
1 Attachment Sisterhood of Clarity-lavender.jpg (67.8 K) This is the month that brings up the idea of love for many of us. I have been contemplating the meaning of love, and would like to share some of my thoughts with you. There are many ways we experience love in our lives, usually we think of and experience love in relation to a love object: such as; love for a child, love for a husband or wife, love for our family, love for a friend, love for our Self, love for God. Many people associate love with other objects, love of fun, love of food, love of laughter, love of dancing, love of creativity, love of sex, love of romance, love for our career, love of animals, love of nature. The list varies from person to person. Some believe it is only worthwhile to love certain objects and less worthy to love others. I see it differently. The State of Love is filled with certain intrinsic attributes, which are always positive, regardless of where the love is directed. Some of these attributes are caring, joy, fulfillment, and kindness, to name a few. When we are in the State of Love we experience and benefit from the qualities of that state, whether we share our love with another or keep it inside. Often when we share our experience of love, it grows. It is not what or whom we love, but rather that we love, that brings its own reward. Love can be expressed regardless of our circumstances; such as in an act of kindness towards someone we know, or don’t know, having compassion for our limitations, smiling at a stranger, helping someone in need, or accepting someone as they are, rather than rejecting them for not living up to our expectations. The State of Love is within each of us, whether we know it or not. Love is a quality of Being. It is one of life’s miracles because it heals the one that feels it, the more we give love the more love we have. We never deplete our love by giving it away, it is totally free, and always available. I encourage you to be playful with love, see if you can give love to something or someone every day and become aware of how this makes you feel. WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN TO YOU?

Aloha Chickiee,
IT IS ALL ONE YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON!

Together we are growing in Clarity, Radha

Dear Radha,

Love and Light = Clarity. Or equally true, Clarity = Love and Light.

Chickee :-x

Please check out Little Grandmother's Link regarding love...It is for real! http://vimeo.com17355872 I don't know the origin of the writing on the site, but start the clip and be changed by her words.

Love begins with self-love. When I am upset or acting in ways that I feel are not loving, I stop and acknowlege myself and feel that love and compassion for me, first. Then I can easily get back to that state of love that I can share with others.

Love begins with loving myself. When circumstances feel difficult and I find myself getting upset or not acting as I would like myself to act, I stop and acknowledge "me" and then I am back in that state of love that I can share with others.

Aloha Rudie and Langford,
I so appreciate your heartfelt comments and yes Love is a state and a verb and so much more. :-x

Here's to clarity, Radha

Sheilaradha, you pose a good question:

Love is certainly the most interestng of the four letter words. We all might agree, true love is heart, mind, body & soul,

for instance love could be, embracing gratitudes, cherishing joys as well as meeting the challenges of each new day with appropriate fairness. Love is also dreams of fun, and perfect romance for others, therefore

I believe, in fact love is, as it has always been, both a state of mind and an act, i.e. all giving & right  

like, 'a breath of fresh air'

What does love mean to me;
Love is patience, tolerance, forgiving, understanding, kind, etc. Love is supposed to be unconditional right? :-x

Aloha Dr. Sugar,
You are such bubble of love and it overflows from you for all of us to play in.
Here's to clarity, Radha :-x

My dear friend and BraveHeart Sister Radha,
Thank you for your timely post on LOVE! What a wonderful emotion....
I resonated very much with the following in your post:

It is not what or whom we love, but rather that we love, that brings its own reward. so TRUE!
We are made in the image of love and perhaps that is really our one true reason for being here. Just to love. To love ourselves, unconditionally....... to then be able to love others from that space.
Then you bring up a very good point .... accepting someone as they are, rather than rejecting them for not living up to our expectations. ... my goodness that can be challenging sometimes yet moving into that space is rewarding in itself.

The State of Love is within each of us, whether we know it or not. Love is a quality of Being. It is one of life’s miracles because it heals the one that feels it, the more we give love the more love we have.

To Clarity and to Love!!!!

With Love, Wellness and Compassion,
Dr. Sugar

Hello Radha,
Love to me means being open! When I am in a state of love I see life as magical and I am open to everything life teaches me.
I agree with you that it is a state because when I am in the state of love I give freely and connect from my soul to life and all the people in my life...it's a state that keeps on giving...
Thank you for your reflective article!

Dear Radha,

You radiate love and this blog post rings true with authenticity! Thank you so much for sharing your great gift of clarity with all our BH sisters.

When we shared the table at RISE, I was struck by the way you playfully offered love to all, and was struck by your eternally youthful vitality! Keep loving, swimming, and using that VitaMix!

You are a shining example of one who playfully embraces longevity now!

Happy Valentine!
Much love and gratitude,
Alison

Love to me is the acceptance of people and the ability to care about one another in spite of ourselves. Loving ourselves for all that we are, all that we want to become, and growing into the person we are meant to be. Love is not demanded, it is not the expectation of another persons wants or needs, whereas, Love is a gift and is given freely.
For me, loving and caring about people is a human responsibility, regardless of race, gender, beliefs, or stature. It is the deepest emotion of kindness and understanding. Empathy for those less fortunate, feeling joy for those who are joyful, and sorrow for those who are sorrowful. Love is respect. God is love.

1 Corinthians13:4-7~Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Thanks, Radha. Your reminder is timely and much appreciated!

Paula
