Full Moon Reflections

One way of understanding personal divinity is that it is the pattern resulting from the light of love shining through the Dreaming that makes up who you are.  Divinity is love, but it expresses differently through each of us.  What is love?  One answer is that love is the universal magnetic, the somethingness that runs throughout the universe and makes this whole crazy creation happen.  And it is always inside you: the divine does not exist separate from you, but as the very essence of yourself.

Even though it is often very painful, keeping an open heart toward the world and relating out of love is absolutely vital.  Love is the essence of the gifts we bring to this world; if we do not relate out of love, we do not give ourselves the opportunity to be who we are and to do what will most fulfill us.  Know that your heart will be fatigued by the pain and the sorrow it is bound to encounter.  Instead of using this as an excuse to stay closed, use it as the motivation to find practices that renew and refresh your heart.
