I pray for an open heart. To accept love in my life and life in my love. But every time I am confronted with an opportunity to make a connection I find myself noticing there is no need to make the connection. And then later wishing I had.
Perhaps there is no need, but there is a want. To make a connection. Make the world a more loving place. The only thing getting in the way is my ego. Every time an opportunity passes me by, I say, "Next time for sure, I will ..." and then I pray for courage. So that I may open my heart, to the love of the Sun/Son, to the love of Mother Earth, and to the Rain.
In the words of Boston,
"I need someone to believe in. Are you in love?"
Because though I may look like a fool when I say this, I want to get to know you. Because though I may look like a young innocent fool with no head on her shoulders when I say this, I love you.
I thought I already learned this lesson.
Lesson 8: There is no next time.
