The Initiation of Authentic Love
~ Written October 5, 2025. Reflections on rediscovering trust in love, its boundless and expanding nature, and the awakening that reveals it was within us all along.
Don’t let the hurt, disappointment, and inauthenticity of a few humans from your past cause you to doubt the existence of goodness and love that is to be experienced and shared in this world.
You mustn’t doubt that there are others here on this sojourn just like you… with pure hearts as vast as the skies and real love to give freely, deeper than the oceans and asking nothing in return.
This is the initiation into the state of boundless love inside you, unaffected by others. Mighty, unmovable, ever-expanding. When given and shared, it does not diminish but rather increases. It’s all within you.
Keep choosing love and you’ll see.
