I think beyond all else in this world my heart yearns un-waveringly
for another……. The one that knows you better than you do yourself, the partner
who stands at your back, their presence an able reminder that you are loved and
supported. The face you wake to in the early hours of the morning sleeping
dreamily beside you and the sight of their face at peace in dream makes your
heart skip a beat. The person you call when something exciting happens, the
friend that recognizes the glint of humor in your eye and understands every
private joke you snigger at in life. The one you share your existence with and
ride the ever continuous waves of life, side by side. Not to own or possess as
a trophy, or to control as a child….but to love as an equal, respect as a human
being and most of all to surrender to in complete trust because this one and
only has done all this and more to be with you and only you…… True love.
The journey life has taken me on in search of this ONE has
seen me bruised and battered, triumphant and exhilarated….and now….at peace to
wait for the miracle I know I deserve. For me, after the journey life has taken
me on in search of this ONE I know when you find this sort of love it is not
something to be disrespected, judged or dismissed……no matter who this love is
for – true love is such a rare find…… it should be treated as nothing less than
you would treat a sunset magickally harnessed into the palm of your hand.
People find this sort of love every day, like me – women in
search of a beautiful man will find their love. Men in search of a devoted
woman will find their heart. Women in search of an ecstatic loving experience
with another woman will find their place in relationships and men in search of
a kindred spirit will find the one they have been dreaming of since they first
knew how to love. LOVE is all…..LOVE is wonderful….. LOVE is non-judgmental and it will grace us all in its own beautiful way in its own beautiful time and
of that we have absolutely no control. Our job is nothing more than to thrust
ourselves wholeheartedly into each loving experience that feels right for us in
each wonderful moment of life.
The world is currently confronted with the debate on GAY
MARRIAGE, and opinions fly, religions are at war, society is throwing judgement
and so man y of us do not even care….but there are those of us like myself who
care…..A LOT. Those of us who love LOVE and believe it is a gift for all, and
however you wish to express your love to the one who shares your heart should
not be judged by anyone, religious, political or otherwise. The concept that
Gay Marriage is not legal is simply proof that the bottom line of marriage in
today’s day and age is that it IS NOT about love. Love see’s all….love LOVES
all……LOVE IS ALL THERE IS. And if this is truly what marriage was about……LOVE……it
would not be segregated to being appropriate for only those of us who choose to
be in a heterosexual relationship.
Marriage for centuries was about the amalgamation of assets
and riches, the binding of one tribe to another for the benefit of alliances in
war, a means of acquiring riches via dowries in exchange for women…..essentially
it has been anything but a loving consolidation between two people. Over time
it has grown into something we deem as more acceptable in parts……There are heterosexual
couples that marry every day before their families, in joy about taking a step
towards making a life together….and it is seen as so beautiful……AND IT IS
BEAUTIFUL. But in a world where we can cure sickness, we can manifest
greatness, we can see past a persons’ skin colour, religion or political agenda
to the core of WHO THEY ARE and still respect one another have we not grown
into a space where we can let one another love freely…..and bind that love
openly without hatred.
Let love happen and celebrate the beauty of the absolute
gift that it is to have climbed every mountain, chased every demon, picked
yourself up bruised and bloodied within and soldiered your way to happiness
within. To have been blessed to come through the journey of heartache to
stumble your precious heart upon another whom you wish to share your life with……how….beyond
all reason HOW IS THIS NOT SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE! No matter whether it is a
man for a man….a woman for a woman or a man for a woman…….LOVE IS ENDLESS and
love is MAGICKAL. The binding of two souls should be seen as nothing less than
SACRED. SO LET IT BE and rejoice in LOVE in all ways, shapes, sizes and
freedoms.
For those of us who are lucky enough to have found true love.....let them LOVE, for I know when my time comes to be completely and utterly in love with the man of my dreams I will not want anything to dim the light that it shines upon the world, and why should my love be any more or any less important simply because I choose to love someone of the opposite sex. There is no place for discrimination in this world. Its time to let love be the change.... :)
