Hearts are vulnerable to loss and change, we use a lot of energy exercising control over everything that maintains our happiness. This is very complicated when you consider that all the heart desires is love. Empty the heart you’ve just created of everything and everyone you put there and write just one word. Love. That one word contains all security you need, yet it seems elusive, nebulous even. By setting the heart on many things, we have broken it up into many parts. As every relationship and circumstance ultimately change, we can only have temporary happiness through the heart. Every relationship will end, so sorrow must follow any attachments that lead us to depend on someone else for happiness. When we set our heart on things or people, the attachment within love makes us needy. It is this attachment, not love, that causes grief. Although we love the special people in our lives, attachment makes us vulnerable to loss and separation. The question is how do we love without becoming attached or dependent? When someone recovers from grief they are re-adjusted to life without that person. Full recovery from losing a partner is marked by readiness to form a new relationship. We fall in love again and the cycle begins over as our happiness depends on someone new. It is not that this is wrong, it is normal in this day and age, but when will we remember the love of our original innocence? This love is dependable and cannot be stolen away. It lives deeply in our hearts yet we forget its existence and beauty, then substitute attachment to compensate for its loss. We then open our heart to love in the wrong way, placing too many expectations and conditions on that love because we fear loss and rejection. We demand a return for our love and if it isn’t received or reciprocated we close our hearts and lock ourselves away. In time we may become disheartened and separated from love altogether, or we may give up, despair or become stressed in our lives. It is attachment that leads to a broken heart, so it is this habit of fear, body-consciousness and conditioning that we need to heal. Then we will find that love was already there and discover that healing was always inevitable.
