Let Your Love Flow

There’s a reason if you find yourself humming along with today’s headline. “And there’s a reason why I’m feeling so high…Must be the season…When that love light shines all around us….”

So with a hat tip to the Bellamy Brothers, today they have me singing the praises and benefits of letting our love flow.

Yesterday in our conversation about Praying For Serenity, I mused, “It’s only for our benefit to reach a state of mind, an attitude,  a way of being that allows us to joyfully sing of our peace achieved, as I am now”. And still am as today’s tune may have a slightly different beat but it’s equally important to our hearts and souls. 

Love is indeed a bold word, Love is the strongest of all positive emotions. That’s why this  edition of “Becoming Today” is an exploration of why love being directed towards yourself, another individual, a group of people, or even all humanity is of utmost importance. 

Recently during our exploration of the 8 Points Of Light, one of the petals on the flower I visualized as indeed all about love. 

Today our conversation will look at love through a slightly different  filter, as we attempt to share a deeper understanding based upon the lyrics to the classic Bellamy Brother’s song, “Let Your Love Flow”.

As Howard and David melodiously instruct us, 

“So let that feeling grab you deep inside,

And send you reeling where your love can’t hide”,

And when it does we should be able to find ourselves in a more open state of mind and more peaceful erhas than we allow ourselves during our daily grind.

Being a person of peace, calm, at rest, at ease and open allows for us to enjoy our relationships with others. It allows us the protected form of vulnerability to be open to new, better experiences with people and our environments.  People will want to be around you, perhaps for reasons they do not immediately understand. But rest assured it will be because they desire the peace you are radiating.

As the chorus reminds us,

“Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you’ll know what I mean

It’s the season”.

While written as a song focused on singular love and it’s more physical aspects, these words at face value can be translated to something much deeper and higher in nature. 

Living with the love and peace of God is truly virtuous. Sharing it with others enables more favor in our lives and boosts the quality of life for all we encounter.

Remaining calm, at rest, peaceful, in a balanced state and doing so with an open, kind, loving heart also results in a gentile spirit. That is receptive to learning, growing, changing and most of all “Becoming”.

Love is so powerful because it transforms and evolves throughout the course of our experiences and lifetimes. What I’m talking about includes, not only being loving towards ourselves, but also accepting the love of others and sharing love with others, plus through loving God.

The love of God purifies our heart, fueling transformation and teaching us self-sacrifice. The nature of all religions is opening ourselves to the Love of God, and is the foundation of all the sacred teachings.

The word “love” is mentioned on almost every page of the English Bible. Depending upon the translation you can find the topic addressed multiple times for good reason. When something is important it bears repeating.

“Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you’ll know what I mean

It’s the season”.

Choose Love. Choose a Loving Life. 

My prayer for you today is that you are consistently an authentic loving nature. Find it, unleash it, share it, always be “Becoming” loving and nurturing. A lack of love is of our own creation, co- create an attitude of love rather than lack.

“Let your love fly like a bird on a wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine and you’ll know what I mean

That’s the reason”.

“When those love rights shine all around us

So let that wonder take you into space

And lay you under its loving embrace

Just feel the thunder

As it warms your face, you can’t hold back

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you’ll know what I mean

It’s the season

Let your love fly like a bird on a wing,…”

“And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine and you’ll know what I mean

That’s the reason

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show and you’ll know what I mean”

Then as we continue our time along our shared path, join us tomorrow, here on “Becoming Today” as we’ll lovingly embrace some simple, yet powerful words which you can empower to assist you at any given moment.
