Filling your empty cups

You’ve been empty because the people you were looking at for love didn’t have any to spare

Maybe you now see the emptiness. You feel it for real.

It is painful they do not have it in them to give to you.

But they are not love.

Love is love. Love is universal. Love is eternal. Love is vast and expansive. Love is abundant.

There is so much love around you if you’d take a moment to notice it.

Love is in the earth that holds you. In the wind that blows your hair and in the flowers that bloom for you. In the animals that live with you. In the food that nourishes you.

If only you saw them, your cups could be filled a little.

Love is in the strangers around you. In the kindness they show. In the grief they share. In the hopes they have and in the memories they treasure.

If only you heard them, your cups could be filled a little.

Love is in the stories of people who came before you. In how they lived and in how they loved.

If only you knew them, your cups could be filled a little.

And then if you could look a bit closer – love is within you and you are love.

If only you felt it, your cups could be filled a little.

There is love all around you and all love will nourish you…if only you allowed love to.
