LOVE AND PAIN: I remember reading somewhere once, it may have been Marianne Williamson, that the pain inside you is the love you havent given away. I get that. I think whenever we hold back or suppress our love, we suffer. When we dole it out or when we withhold it out of fear we become prematurely aged, achy and and manifest all kinds of ailments and a pinched prosperity flow. When we live and love orgasmically, finding beauty, ecstasy and bliss in even the tiniest things? Freely expressing our emotions and dropping habitual inhibitions...without going to liquid courage or humor or mind games or other weak defenses? We win. We absolutely win at the Game of Life. I know when I get vulnerable (not whiny) but open and tender, I feel wobbly at first but then so, SO empowered. I know when a man is either showing bravado, tantrums or having a whinefest he is deeply wounded and confused. I can hold space for that but it makes me feel turned off sensually. Equally, when a man comes to me all hearty and arm punchy and starts wanting to cast me in pal or therapist or sister role I feel deeply devalued, masculinized and insignificant to him as a feminine being. Nobody wants to be friend zoned or picked last for gym. So these suppressed or masked ways of emanating or exuding our natural love quotient is really what ails us. And genuine expressions of admiration, affection and intimacy? Heal us. And this is the dance. Between love and fear. Between emotional bravery and hiding. Between self sovereignty or flakiness. And it can get so SO tiring and feel very frustrating and unfulfilling. So Im appreciating that I dont really have this filter that much. Because a pain free and love filled life sounds and feels pretty good to me. So I give my love. As often and as authentically as I can. It can even be utilizing the like button both figuratively and literally. Because anything less than that? Not loving to our fullest capacity; without hindrance or trying so hard to be cool or safe? Simply hurts too much.~Courtney A. Walsh
