{{SE}} You are fantastic! You remembered the Relish!

{{thank you tumel}} I like smiling, too. Life can be more of a picnic, especially now that SE showed up with condiments.

Yes, issues within our relationships surface…if we ’see’ them as opportunties to express our Love, instead of our ‘need’, too, in that moment, miracles happen.

For we are FREE, right then and there, to say, ‘I LOVE you.’

“No, I don’t ‘need’ you but I Love you.” Then go on to name all the reasons why, every single one of those reasons being some trait or quality of character that we find of value and attractive.

In every issue raised when one in a partnership has healed an issue, is the same healing offered to the other. Then it becomes a matter of choice and recognizing we all choose when we are ready to let go.

A 4 foot ditch may look like an easy leap to a lot of people. Yet, that same leap would inspire doubt both in a 3 year old and me, at this moment. To force me or the 3 year old to leap, would result in trauma, so it’s more loving for us to wait, until we can leap without fear.

It’s important to keep this in mind when it comes to our relationships. Compassion is healthy to keep foremost in our minds and hearts. Right along with Understanding, Acceptance and Tolerance.

Of them All, I found Tolerance & Acceptance for all choices, to be more a challenge then Understanding. For what we come to Understand a lot of times isn’t pleasant.

And.., our ‘lesser’ self is very attached to believing it is something else entirely, then what it Is…”The Truth can set us FREE” AND “The Truth often hurts.”

Our ‘lesser’ self is like a weed that keeps claiming the Identity of our Flower. What nourishes the Flower, tends to make the weed shrivel. It just takes practice to break ourselves of the habit of imagining we’re the weed, instead of the Flower.
