There is a fundamental confusion in our approach to close relationships
- as long as the baby part in us is still longing for motherly love
Nature intends a smooth transition for us
from the womb
into the arms of a caring adult
We mostly refer to this as unconditional love
As long as we still long for having been held gently and firmly
for being fed the right food at the right time
feeling good in ourittle bodies
and safely connected to another
- we will struggle in our romantic relationships
We will struggle as parents
We struggle in groups and collectives
If we look around we see this everywhere
The good news is that we can become aware of this part in ourselves
We can listen
we can learn
we can become our own mother
And we don't have to like this!!!
It's perfectly ok to feel the longing for this all encompassing love
- that's how we notice it
As we notice it we can start to acknowledge that that's how it is
That's how we turn towards it
and get to know ourselves more deeply
That's how we heal
through feeling the feelings that are here
Taking responsibility for our own state is a stable foundation for our love to flower
It's self-responsibility in action
It's a process of post-maturation that builds a solid foundation for our relationships to unfold their innate potential
