[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Joy requires abandon

You will touch joy and suddenly realize that you have never felt joy
because it requires abandon. It grows from gratitude and cannot exist where
there is mad cynicism or distrust. You will touch this joy and you will
suddenly know it is what you were looking for your whole life, but you were
afraid to even acknowledge the absence because the hunger for it was so
encompassing. --Eve Ensler, In the Body of the World

I am not a problem to fix. And I'm certainly not defective. I am bloody
glorious. My darkness always circles back to the light. There is order to
my chaos. My heart is broken on a daily basis and for that I am on-my-knees
grateful. I am the entitled Ruler of My Own Life, a tender devotee of
desire, ancient and newborn, a Medicine Woman Priestess Powerhouse, a
Soldier of Love, an Artist of Magnitude. I am important--just because.

In a perfect symbiosis of reciprocity, the world needs exactly what I've
got to give--which is tremendous. My hunger is fierce, divine, and
universal. Moreover, it is insatiable--and that is good. I am a portal to
Truth, luminous. I am as wide-awake today as I can possibly be. And I am
not the only one. I . . . am . . . not the only one (DLP) Peace!
