Welcome to the thinning of the veil between the worlds. Feel the love from the Other Side, for there is naught but love and light and blessings there on the Far Shore. Only here do we see the light in contrast to darkness, love in contrast to fear.
And welcome from whatever virtual lands you clicked in from, whether from Morgan’s Gleamings of the Dawn or Joy Vernon‘s blog.
Where’s the love? This is the question I want you to answer first. Love is the reaching out from the unconditional acceptance field, where your soul resides, to hug you in its embrace. So, think back, to yesterday, to childhood, wherever it was that you received that unconditional love. For me it came from my grandfather. He called me his “Princess.” I was totally trusted, could do no wrong in his eyes. And then my hubby just said that love may seem to come from others but this cannot be depended upon; love inevitably circles around to your Self. So, how has it been for you? Love found only within, or within and supported from without? Where have you found total loving acceptance?
My favorite tarot card for the Lovers, that place of merging opposites in total surrender to create the new, is from Will Worthington’s artwork in the Druid Craft Tarot. Not just about human love, but the love that unites all aspects of nature. This love also has no judgment, no care about what’s “right” or “wrong” but just the desire to live forever through reproduction of opposites as One. More unconditional love.
The Love It Forward Spread
So, yeah, let’s play with that. Let’s pay it forward and create new love. Get your cards out and try this one:
Card 1: Where the love was
Card 2: Where the love is now hidden
Card 3: How best to love it forward
Go! See where these cards take you from and what challenge they give you to pass the love forward, then try that out.
And here’s my Cosmic Whispers take on the lovers. A pair of merging galaxies from the Hercules galaxy cluster, with what even looks like the traditional angel bringing the two “lover” galaxies together. Very cool. Last, a poetic message of love to go with our galactic Lovers.
Falling into Your Eyes
I keep looking down,
because if I look at you,
I know I’ll fall into your eyes.
I’ve met them a thousand times before.
I know them from some other when,
that old secret gateway to your heart.
Right now that heart is aching,
so you’ve blown a smoky shell to hide in;
kept those bad habits to push us all away.
I keep looking down,
because if I look at you,
I know I’ll fall into your eyes.
But those eyes, they do keep calling.
They still want me to do some falling,
to dive into that reflection of my soul.
And find my way into your heart,
where water gently swirls around me,
filling me with light from head to toe.
I keep looking down, then,
to avoid that crazy mirror,
so I can’t see me in those eyes.
I’m afraid of falling, you see,
into that ocean of blue
where all breath is caught,
and no heart escapes.
But maybe just this once,
I won’t get lost.
Just this once…

After a rather long turbulent period. I’ve found my True Love in the mirror and I can say from the bottom of my heart: She is the one. And then, suddenly everybody around me is so much more easy to Love <3 🙂
I just did it and what the cards told me makes so much sense
I like it, I just shared it to my friend 🙂
