From the Golden Tarot, the Three of Swords; from the Yantra Deck, Love:
Love is space. It is developing our own capacity for spaciousness within ourselves to allow others to be as they are. That is love. And that doesn’t mean that we don’t have hopes or wishes that things are changed or shifted, but that to come from a place of love is to be in acceptance of what is, even in the face of moving it towards something that is more whole, more just, more spacious for all of us.
—Rev. Angel Kyodo Williams
A woman sits with her journal, consulting it to discover the 'why' behind her pain. "Why did she betray me?" "Why did he leave me?" "Why was what I loved taken from me?" She will find no answers that heal, only create more thoughts that hurt her. Instead, she might ask, "What now?" Love means being vulnerable, exposing the soft sides of our hearts. When we are hurt, it is easy to constrict our minds and hearts to only the situation or person that triggered our suffering. But our hearts and minds are much more spacious than that. If given the chance to look at the whole rather than one small part, we might find the blue sky behind the clouds.
