Hello. Welcome to the “Unfolding” community..it is a pleasure to share energy with you here!
Today is “Wishcasting Wednesday” at Jamie Ridler Studios . The question is:
How do you wish to be loved?
When you stand in stillness,
and
Honor silence..
When you look beyond what is visible,
To all that is reflected to you..
You will find a mirror of
your Self…
You will find
Love.
We wish to control love by making lists of compatibility, screening candidates, opening our hearts only in certain circumstances. We wish to understand love by labeling it, reading books, participating in counseling sessions. We wish to hide our imperfections, fears, doubts so we relate on a surface level. We wish to express love with a safe, pat: “I love you”.
Love becomes a struggle, chore, obligation. We run from it, deny it, avoid it..because we are afraid it will “hurt”.
I release that.
When you choose to love me, I wish for you to turn off your mind and access your heart space. From this space of abundance and gratitude, we may relate transparently..beyond layers of fear, doubt, barriers, masks.. to genuine heart whispers.
I wish for you to allow those heart whispers to surface so that the love we share in this very moment will magnify your inner brilliance and allow your dreams to become your reality. Your inner brilliance reflects to me my own..so that loving you inspires me to create within my own life.
May you love me not for what you see..but for what you Feel as we share space. May you allow your self to Feel delight: passion, joy, peace, hope, creativity, pleasure, beauty..far beyond that which your mind may label as ‘good’ is all that is life enriching, soul nourishing, spirit enlivening. As you love me, may you feel the magnificence of that love and allow it to color all of your creations.
May you express your love not in words: “I love you”…but in gratitude: “Thank you“. Thank you for being you and choosing to share energy and space with me. Thank you for sharing the precious gift of your self with me. I will feel this gratitude through your actions, your choice to be mindfully present in the moments we physically share, as well as the moments we emotionally share. I will know I am loved not because you told me so, but because your actions are full of care and show me so.
May you apply patience as we plant the seed of love, then allow it to grow. Instead of hovering, may we plant this seed together, then create individually and allow our connectedness to nurture this love with ease, joy, peace.
When I open my heart to you, I See: all that you reflect to me, is me. (Thank you for the opportunity to open my heart..thank you for such a beauty filled gift!).
As we love, may we honor simplicity…bask in the sunshine..and sleep bathed in moonbeams.
How do you wish to be loved?
Much peace,
Joy

That is a wish full of good sentiments! I agree that words alone are not enough to convey love. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you.

Joy,
“Thank you” for sending me out the door this very sunny morning with your generous heart.
May you be ‘Followed by a Moonshadow’.
*Love* is indeed patience that is able to grow both under the sun and the moon.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you.

Joy,
This is revolutionary! The entire article and wish, and this wish especially:
“When you choose to love me, I wish for you to turn off your mind and access your heart space.”
I’m smiling and loving you.

Show me by your actions. Words are special but actions speak so much louder. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.

I once knew someone who would tell me over and over again that, essentially, talk was cheap and actions led the way. While this particular person left a lot to be desired in my life, he made me more mindful that words PLUS action are far more powerful than one or the other, alone. They work hand-in-hand, like partners, almost, to demonstrate either affection or rejection.
And so it goes.
What a lovely post, and one that seems to resonate with many (you’re very good at that).
Sending you a warm hug,
Megan
