“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” ― Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband
Although at first read, this quote may seem narcissistic, I think it speaks of the essential element required in order to love others. After all how can you offer to someone something which you do not posses for yourself?
If we are to practice something every day, let it be an authentic and profound feeling of love for our self. Imagine it would be like enjoying a big piece of chocolate cake, or an elegant glass of wine, or the fabulous beet salad at the Green Door in Ottawa, but it is pure love. Unconditional, unlimited, inexaustible. Every meditation recording I have ever heard, speaks of allowing a light to fill us. Feel the joy. Feel the relaxation entering every cell of your being. I might have to record my own meditation, “Love yourself” so you can listen to it everyday. So I can listen to it every day. You see I am a wounded healer. If I am writing about taking time to love yourself, it is that I too need to make time to love myself. If you do not grow any tomatoes in your garden, you will not have any tomatoes to offer to those around you.
Become a big huge crop of tomatoes (I love tomatoes!) Love yourself enough to let that love overflow into your world for the rest of your life.
Namaste!
