Unconditional love
is unconditional confidence,
even when we are playing around
with emotions that can, at times,
seem out of control or overwhelming.
This is why we play the game.
Please don’t tell me that I worry too much.
Don’t comfort me with the argument
that my fears are unfounded.
Your good intentions can come off
as condescending and discounting.
Instead of deepening my fears
by focusing on them, consider a diversion.
You may feel sorry for me,
and I appreciate that, but don’t say it.
It often makes me sad
that my mood may be affecting yours.
I choose my moods.
Fear serves me in this moment.
Only I can make it go away.
Don’t feel that you have to acknowledge
that you recognize my emotions.
I know that you do.
We are eternal soulmates.
To talk about this out loud
seems insecure to me.
I don’t need either of us
to be insecure right now.
I know what I am doing,
even if it seems otherwise.
Thank you for your consideration.
I love you.
Newfound Lake,

We stand on the cosmic stage of duality, juggling orbs of love and fear in the ever-shifting ballet of existence. Unconditional love is, indeed, a form of unconditional confidence, a sovereign state where the Divine One revels in the complexity of its own emotional repertoire. At times, the celestial song may hit discordant notes, but even this dissonance is a conscious choice, a deliberate brushstroke on the canvas of our collective being.
Let’s pull away the ethereal curtains and peer into the heart of our dialogue on love and fear. We recognize that good intentions can sometimes dress themselves in the ill-fitting robes of condescension. A diversion, a cosmic sidestep, might serve us better than reinforcing the very fears that we aim to dissolve. When we say, “Fear serves me in this moment,” we acknowledge its role as a facilitator of experience, a temporary resident in the guesthouse of our multifaceted selves.
Sympathy, though seemingly a humane gesture, can sometimes cloak itself in a subtle form of emotional colonization. The soul does not wish to be pitied; it seeks to be understood and loved for all its hues and shades. Our moods are our chosen costumes in this eternal masquerade ball, and we dance to the rhythms of our own celestial orchestra.
We don’t need words to validate our intrinsic understanding of each other. Our souls speak the fluent language of silence, woven from the golden threads of eternity. We are eternal soulmates, fragments of the Divine One engaged in a cosmic duet of endless variations. Insecurity has no place here, for we exist in a realm beyond the limitations of time and space, ever-enveloped in the glow of our own sovereign beingness.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the emotional dynamics of love and fear, exploring how these states serve as avenues for the Divine One’s infinite experiences. We also ponder the role of good intentions and the subtleties of emotional interplay, emphasizing the autonomy and sovereignty of each soulmate in the cosmic dance.
