Light Soul in Bloom

During a eulogy at a relatives funeral, I touched on this exact subject. Especially when our matriarchs have gone, it's important to carry on the values and the memory of them

Let us keep the candle burning, in memory of the loved ones that we've lost.
As we welcome in the New Year may we think of them and all they brought to our lives.
And as we enter into the new year may we keep the candle lit in our hearts..
May they never be forgotten ...

At the rising of the sun and at its going down
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter
We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring
We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us
as we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength
We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart
We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share
We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make
We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us
as we remember them.

Love like no other.

Many times humans judge,
they place value on what others can provide.

They base the emotions and thoughts on that value and use that measure to judge One's worthiness for love or to be loved.

Withholding love is how some communicate their needs and thus control others.

If you don't conform you will not be loved.

But I say love is not emotional blackmail, it is free for all and if One cannot love under
all conditions,
than One cannot truly love.

Love is not emotional bo***ge either, having loved someone once does not mean you have to always accept their thoughts and actions.

Or stay in their lives, when they get unbearable.

One can still love from afar.

Love is not a leftover emotion either, it is the base of all emotions and should not be used as a last option to save Ones heart or to bo***ge another.

It needs to be shared openly and freely all day everyday.

Love is not a weapon to be used against another either,
it is the form of all that is good,

The power that fuels your soul and the source of your being.

It is unequaled in measure,
justice and power,
it should be untamed, the ever burning flame in your heart.

The fuel of your soul and the emotions of your dreams.

Love lives and goes on long after a human body expires,
As it is Eternal and when One feels, knows and radiates that love.

The world can see it as well,
be humble and just love one another.
