Love Ambassa-door

"The things we tend to keep hidden from others offer us potential doorways into deeply intimate experiences."

I just read this off of someone's facebook photo caption...and was instantly inspired to write.

This quote reminded me of an experience I had at Burning Man this year. A new friend I'd just met, shared that when he looked at me, the word Ambassador came to mind. An Ambassa-door he said...a door wide open to both receive and to give love. An Ambassador...a messenger of this love.

Lately I've been aware of when I'm not being this open door, and instead, I am up against a wall of fear, hiding who I am. This quote speaks directly to that part of me that naturally wants to be open and free...as we all do, and recognizes that there is this threshold to cross when fear is present. I know that who I am is just beyond that threshold...beyond that moment when i step from fear of showing who i really am to loving, embracing and being who i really am...and ALL that's possible in that moment. That is when my heart truly gets to lead me...when I step out of fear into love.

What's the result? The result is a really juicy, loving, deep moment of connection - with another, with the soul, and with the divine. YUM! Why would I ever want to hide?! In those moments of stepping through fear, something gets unleashed and comes out to play. Breakthroughs occur, inspired thoughts and actions occur, deep listening occurs, and joy occurs!

So, whenever the Fear creeps in and tries to tell me that I am a wall, what I've been practicing instead is being a door that lets Love in and gives Love out. A Love Ambassa-door. One who is leading with a message of Love, just by being that Love. Its all a practice, and it's already perfect.

Love is hitting a wall of Fear and creating an open door to Love.
