I wanted to write C.C. a love poem and I hesitated. Suspended between wanting to write of love and loving, I resonate with the fear of letting go.
Oh, and a voice inside whispers. If you do that you'll get hurt.
I turn to face the voice but it disappears into the mists of fear.
There I am. Supine suspension on a violin string. Delicately balanced between my wanting to know love and my fear of being known in love.
I let myself
Go.
It doesn't take balance to fly.
Just courage.
So flowed my meditation this morning.
A delicate weave of clear mind spaces unravelling into the mists and images of violin strings plucked and vibrating with potential, with meaning, with lore and Love.
I let myself down
gently
into the waters
warm and inviting
calling me deeper
I let myself fall
effortlessly
into air
soft and enveloping
lifting me higher
I let
my
self
go
and hold
on
to nothing
but
Love.

One of scariest things you can do is to make yourself vulnerable. Also one of the most beautiful.
I'm not sure which I love more ... your post or those raining hearts! way cool
Ah yes Glynn -- and I love to be immersed in beauty.

Lovely, Louise. At first I saw the cupid had disappeared, just after I'd gotten used to seeing him, and then the hearts started letting themselves go. Cool effect.
Have a wonderful, Love-filled weekend.
you continue to touch my heart in many ways ...
pink snow!
tee hee -- pink snow
Thanks everyone. Love embraces me when I let go of my fear of falling!
Moving from abusive relationships into the present amazing one, I know first-hand how hard it is to let go of fear, to trust the power of love, and to surrender one's self completely to it, but doing so results in such a blessing!
I so appreciated this delightful take on the concept of a woman "letting herself go", since this phrase is so often used in a depreciating context. From now on, when I hear it, I'll think of it this way and smile! :-)
It doesn't take balance to fly.
