Our need to be loved


*****

When we are open...
we will begin to receive love..
from the most surprising places...

The starting point is surrendering to...
 our desire to be loved...
our need to be nurtured...

We may feel awkward with this need...
We will learn...
We will grow to trust our ability to choose people...
who are safe.

We have denied ourselves too long.
We have given so much...
and allowed ourselves to receive too little.

We open up like flowers.
Sometimes it hurts as the petals push open.
Be glad.
Our heart is opening...
