Like clay spun on a potter's wheel
Yes, if we let it, love will seep into the cracks and crevices of our hearts.
Here are a few things I have learned lately!
Love is a force that transcends human understanding, yet we all feel its profound effects on our lives. When we open ourselves to love—both giving and receiving it—we initiate a process of transformation that shapes us at our very core.
Love reaches deep within, moulding our innermost selves like clay spun on a potter's wheel. It reshapes the spirit, sculpting us into more empathetic, patient, and compassionate beings.
Under love's gentle care, the rough edges of our egos soften, and we learn what it means to be truly vulnerable and seen.
We begin to flourish into our most human and caring selves. Yes, if we let it, love will seep into the cracks and crevices of our hearts, becoming embedded into the fibre of our characters.
This complex emotion touches and transforms us in a thousand ways, revealing beauty within ourselves we never knew existed.
Love profoundly moulds us.
It whispers to our souls, etching itself into our very being. Love builds connection; it entwines our lives with those who matter most. We step outside our isolated existence through love and into a communal one.
Love teaches us vulnerability.
It strips away our facades and forces us to let others see the most intimate parts of who we are. This exposure leaves us raw yet transformed. We learn to give and receive without judgement.
Love gives us empathy.
As we cherish our beloved, we tap into a well of compassion. Love bids us to walk in another's shoes and feel their pain as our own. It breaks down the boundaries between two separate beings.
Love cultivates patience.
We make small sacrifices without counting the cost when we love someone. We endure hardships and extend grace during times of friction. Love softens our sharp edges over time.
Love elevates our vision.
Loving and being beloved reveal what it means to be seen and known. We catch a glimpse of our beauty through another's awed gaze. We realise how love's light can shine through our cracks.
Yes, love shapes us.
Through a thousand little moments and reminders, love leaves its mark on our spirit. It makes us more human, humble, and willing to listen and understand. Opening ourselves to love's work within will mould us into the person we were meant to be.
