Every moment is an invitation to live out of your weakness or to live out of your strength.

Most of us feel on some level like race horses chomping at the bit, pressing at the gate, hoping and praying for someone to open the door and let us run out. We feel so much pent up energy, so much locked up talent. We know in our hearts that we were born to do great things, and we have a deep-seated dread of wasting our lives. But the only person who can free us is ourselves. Most of us know that. We realize that the locked door is our own fear.

The voices of fear are so loud today. The voices of love should never shout, but neither should they whisper - not at a time like this.

Carrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.

Relationships are eternal. The 'separation' is another chapter in the relationship. Often, letting go of the old form of the relationship becomes a lesson in pure love much deeper than any would have learned had the couple stayed together.

When the heart is pierced, there is pain, yes, but also an invitation to a greater becoming.

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.
