Considering possibilities for intimate love

Consider the possibility that falling in love doesn't have to look like what it looks like in the movies.

Consider the possibility that true love is far more abundant than the movies will have you believe.

Consider the possibility that a person can be genuinely passionately whole-heartedly in love with two or more people at once.

That love for someone else doesn't detract from love for you. 

(Perhaps it amplifies it.) 

Consider the possibility that falling in love doesn't have a destination.  Two people can be in love and it is not goal-oriented.  It is just the pleasure and mystery of the moment.  
Or the pain and confusion. 

Consider the possibility that I can be having an experience of scarcity, entitlement, jealousy, but Nothing's Actually Wrong.


Over and over again I let go of old concepts of intimate love.
Over and over again I shake with fright.
Over and over again I find my ground.
Over and over again I cry with gratitude.


Everything's okay.  It's okay.  Those are just possibilities.  You don't have to believe them.  You don't have to subscribe to them.  Just consider them.  Try them on.  If you hate them, you can let them go, too.
