Tomorrow is the Safe Place Walk!

I had a dream last night that a person I know to be an abuser came up to me and put their arms around me and we walked side-by-side through a field toward a school I knew. The person told me their real thoughts and feelings and at the end of them sharing their real self, they said something about having missed me and asked how I was doing. I talked about my life now, and I said I am wonderfully in love and happy, and shared with them something I just realized, or just discovered, as I was saying it in the dream: "Love doesn't hurt" I said. The person started weeping uncontrollably. I realized I'd finally reached their heart, that we finally understood each other and could heal.

It was a good dream.

Anyway, I'm walking tomorrow. It seems so simple and obvious, but Love really doesn't hurt. I don't care how many songs you've heard or books you've read that say it does. Hurting yourself or others is not Love, even if someone else calls it that.

Love heals.

Love nurtures.

Love cares.

Love gives.

Love is good.

God is Love.

We are God when we Love.

Love Doesn't Hurt.
