Happy Valentines Day!

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Valentines Day is one of those sappy days that I am still learning to make peace with.

Truth is, I still have a lot to learn about relationships and Valentines Day can feel like salt in my wounds some years.

I was blessed and cursed with very romantic and sentimental parents. They love birthdays, anniversaries and, well, pretty much all holidays. They’d spend weeks planning and secretly wrapping presents and swearing my brother and I into secrecy.

When I left home, it took me about 23 years to figure out that not all men are like my father.

And that’s okay.

My history with men has had a very interesting and steep learning curve. My relationships have been a catalyst for a lot of my spiritual growth and for that I am deeply grateful.

For years I tried to manifest my “soul mate”. I was filled with longing for the matching puzzle piece to my heart. I thought I found him a couple of times.

Over the last year, I stopped looking for him.

At first this was a kind of sad, resigned process.

But then it hit me. The love I am looking for surrounds me all the time.

It might not be in the package I thought it should be in. But it’s right here, smack in front of my face.

(Isn’t G-d clever? I love how things are always better than you think when you move your limiting preconceptions out of the way.)

The truth is, I’m deeply immersed in the most incredible love all the time. And that understanding has been one of the most liberating realizations of my whole life.

We all have set ideas about how we think love should look and feel. One of the things I have learned (thanks to the Human Design System), is that a lot of our relationships and interactions are dictated by our own personal energies.

So much of what happens between two people, “good” or “bad”, isn’t usually personal. It’s just the nature of who we are hard-wired to be in this incarnation and the conditioning we’ve learned to live out in our lives.

Some of us are, by design, not really into commitments. Some of us are great lifetime partners.

Some of us are flirty.

Some of us are serious.

Some of us have big life missions.

Some of us are here to play and experiment.

Some of us are critical and corrective.

Some of us don’t care about details.

And all of it is perfect. And none of it is personal.

If a person who wants a commitment and a person who feels confined by commitment happen to meet and fall in love, the person who won’t offer the commitment might actually still really love the other person. The lack of commitment may not necessarily be about the other person at all.

But, of course, it sure can feel personal.

The trick to recognizing the love that surrounds you is to get past the personal part.
(A Human Design Relationship reading can help you with that!)

The other trick is to get your head out of how you think love should look or feel.

And to remember love is also a verb.

How many times have you been madly in love with someone and they have treated you terribly?

And you think that is love?

Of course, love has certain emotional components, but the expression of love has to come with actions that are in alignment with the feelings.

Yes, love can come as a tall, handsome, sexy soulmate who meditates.

And you can spend your whole life looking for that perfect, unerring physical manifestation of love.

But don’t miss all the other places love shows up in your life.

Here’s a list of possible places to find the love that is already present in your life:

1. G-d
2. Your Spirit Guides, Angels, Crossed-over Loved Ones
3. Your children and all their friends
4. Your weird, pseudo-muggle boyfriend who doesn’t fit your “Soul mate” list in any way but treats you like a queen.
5. Your friends who stick with you through every single relationship disaster and keep telling you how magnificent you are.
6. Your dog. (I’d put cat here, but that’s kind of “iffy”)
7. The guy at Starbucks who remembers your order every time and makes your latte extra hot, just like you like it.
8. The look you give yourself in the mirror when you realize how incredible you are.
9. Your family, who drives you crazy, but shows up for every celebration and sorrow in your life.
10. Your clients who pay you for your services and send you notes of gratitude.
11. The auto finance manager who bends over backwards to find you just the right loan even though auto loans are kind of scarce right now.

You get the gist of this, right?

Love doesn’t have to be a grand romantic gesture.

In fact, at this point, I’d prefer that it wasn’t. I like the way love shows up every day. It’s sweet and consistent.

I wouldn’t trade a single hug or confidential conversation with my kids for a bouquet of roses and a diamond ring.

May you spend this day celebrating the evidence of the great love that surrounds you.

May you find that the list of evidence is longer than you can write and keeps growing every day.

Love,
Karen
