2. Introduction: What’s Love Got to Do With It?
December 14, 2006
“We begin and end with Love. First we learn about love and acceptance from those in our immediate environment, influencing how we perceive ourselves and the sense we make about all that is around us. We actually interpret much of life at home and at work based on how we love ourselves and others. Second, our ways of love influence how and whether we trust self, others and Spirit to provide what we want and need. Third, we develop our awareness as co-creators in the lives we are living and realize that how we see the world, how we are in it, and what we do is key to making our reality every moment. We learn how to unfold what is right for this moment, for this time.
Many of the challenges we experience at home and at work, in our communities and families, in our business and religious worlds, in our country and international relations—have to do with the experience of and attachment to separation. We often miss the experience and appreciation of wholeness and love from moment to moment. Fragments of our lives yearn to integrate and begin to come together when we address how we love and how we don’t. We heal old wounds, face deep truths, realize our souls’ dreams and reveal more of who we truly are and are born to be. Then we have more positive impact as parents, leaders, followers, helpers, artists, teachers, learners, lovers and change agents. We begin and end with Love.”—from Darya Funches, Author What is the wound that has never fully healed? What is the great lie and the truth the lie concealed? What is the urgent dream that must be made real? What is the part of you yearning most to be revealed? Unleash Pure Love stored beneath the heart’s great seal. Circulate Pure Love within. Use all your zeal. Author’s Comment “In I Send My Blankets Over You, I want to help us look at our ways of seeing, knowing, being and doing Love. I explore the nature and importance of Pure Love to our worldly and spiritual lives and to our quality of life on the whole. In part, I do this by contrasting and comparing Pure Love to the other dynamics we have come to call “love.” What we normally call “love” are romantic adventures, giving us windows, if we look, into areas needing healing, resolution and evolution to help us fulfill the purposes we were born to fulfill. Through examples of my own and others’ personal journeys with being loved and unloved, and being loving and unloving, you may glimpse your own patterns, wounds, healing resolutions and potentials. Love, Darya |
