If you love some one set them free.

If you love someone, bask by the fire of your mutual glow, feeling the draw of the mutual glow, and contemplate the attraction that impels you together, free from promises, commitments, and obligation.

Although our lives here mandate promises, commitment and obligation, you may perhaps find and rekindle your love, or attract a love, by finding and feeling what pulls you together, and just basking in that and being familiar with that, not allowing this to be covered by a sense of obligation or feeling emotionally indebted.

The great loves don't work from an overriding sense of mutual obligation, but rather mutual empowerment and magnification of life energy, making the purpose of the relationship to be a tacit delight in each other, and making the premise of the relationship to be for the joy of it.

It's easy to fall into a place where you are almost like business partners, with life's issues so filling your days that certain responses become automatic, and owed.

So dig back to what first attracted you, for there you may find again the reason for love.

Yes, yes. Well said. So much of it makes sense and I have experienced that "business partner" relationship.

But one thing that really bothers me is that "mutual glow". I feel like I need that glow from the other person. When that glow is withdrawn and denied me it makes me crazy.

I guess I need to figure out why this is so disturbing to me. And it is also scary to me that if I don't keep up my daily affairs it will spell disaster for me.

I do realize that people need to protect themselves and at the same time you cannot always be unconditional with people.

Anyway, thanks for your show of support and wisdom.

Hi

Mercury has been retrograde and is now slowly going direct, often this is the time when the "mirroring" has a "boost". I just answered the Help Carla post, and discovered this one that i was the last to answer in 2008! Like i'm meeting myself as "an old friend popping up" a coomon thing to happen under mercury retrograde and stationary going direct.

The weather has been sunny and snowy for 2 weeks in Gothenburg which is very rare and today i was watching seagulls flying in the sky with the sun lighting up their wings from beneath

Actually some of my friends i had "problems with" are coming back:) and i'm really working on freeing myself from codependencybonds..
