Truly, we are hardwired for love, but in our culture we tend to reduce love to something that always feels good. While the experience of love is often accompanied with great joy, love is much more than an emotion. Love is the evolutionary energy of God working within creation to bring about our highest good. The energy of love will do whatever needs to be done in order to facilitate our growth, at times showing up as gentleness, and at other times as fierceness. We must avoid the tendency to domesticate love. Love is wild because God is wild!
Divine Mother,
How many times
Have I mistaken your fierceness
For something other than love?
You will always love me
In exactly the way I most need.
