Expressions of Love

In theory, I have always advocated for unconditional love. I believe in it and I have felt and experienced it.

Yet I wonder if I have truly expressed unconditional love as I seem to have some expectation of a like response or acknowledgment. However, it seems I have missed the point because when you love someone(s), in any form, I have learned there need not be a response.

Admittedly, this was/is a hard lesson for me to learn and I am still processing this lesson. To love unconditionally, for me, means to love freely and without being loved in return, or - at the very least - accepting a different form in return.

I am also learning that I need to express my love to those I do love. Now, I do not mean to make them uncomfortable, but if I am to be my true blue self, expressions of love are part of who I am and suppressing those sentiments is like trying to plug a black hole with my pinky finger.

Now, it is scary as hell to express my feelings, especially to folk of the female variety, and it took the prompting and encouragement of the Great Queen(The Morrigan) for me to do so recently. Now I am not the type to second guess the motives of a Goddess (altho I have wondered why these two individuals and why at this time) and I am sure some will doubt She had anything to do with it. However as I have pondered this I have realized that She is pushing me out of my comfort zone and teaching me to be (and accept) who I am and to lay aside all doubts that I am Hers, as Priest and Druid.

She also knows my heart as I have laid it bare before Her and whilst I am sure  my confessions of love serve Her Purpose I can't help but believe that She also has my best interests at heart as well.
