Kind Rebirths and Compassionate Love

The concept of love is an easy topic to talk about for some, but to actually live the part isn’t so much. We have been taught and many believe that love is about passion, about chemistry between people and connection. While those can be important virtues, the ideal of real love may require something much deeper. It requires kind-heartedness and responsibility.

In my mind, the idea of a Kind Rebirth is about that gap where emotion and action are separated. It’s a quiet place where one has the clairvoyance to leave behind pride to welcome in placidity and gentleness. It’s where ego falls victim to understanding. It’s that place where we choose peace over power. In this middle ground is where love transcends shear feeling, it becomes routine.

Kindness Is the Heartbeat of Love

Kindness and love are a natural combination. It does not strive to be perfect. It is not a prerequisite or a requirement. It means that we should consider staying present even in uncomfortable situations. It means moving with consideration and not selfishness. It means to seek understanding rather than to live in confusion.

When love is kind and kindness is present in love, that means the emotions of others matter more than our own delusions and that we should learn to respect that connection you share with another is a collaboration and not a competition. When we love kindly, we move in a different manner. While we welcome them as our partner and as an extension of who we are, we also accept that they are another soul navigating a path to their own rebirths seeking to learn their own lessons.

Compassion without End

Compassion, on the other hand, like love, requires commitment. It asks us to love without any condition or reservation. It asks us to take love beyond the superficial surface. It asks us to love without conditions. Choose to recognize that others come with histories that are often riddled with unhealed wounds and inability to communicate effectively. While we want to heal them to shield them, compassion teaches us to love and care in a way that allows them to seek their own resolution with no need to repair everything in their lives but to always provide unconditional support.

Compassion does not disguise itself as weakness, conversely, it practices wisdom. It allows you to see the pain in others and transforms you to always stay supportive and sympathetic. That’s the beauty of love. Rather than doing for yourself and your own self-gratification, you give from a place of wholeness – the wholeness you see in yourself, the wholeness you see in your partner, the wholeness you see in your relationship together. Never forget that you don’t have to abandon the boundaries you’ve established for your own personal growth, you are still obliged to protect your feelings and your peace.

Create the space where you and your partner can make mistakes, forgive, and learn to move forward in safety. This is one way I define a kind rebirth of love and in love. It’s here that two people can choose to love each other better with more than romantic gestures; it’s where we can choose a different path to walk and still evolve together in the harmonic sounds of unity.

Healing occurs when love is grown in kindness. It lasts when it’s sustained with careful intent. When these two are combined, we pray for the kind of rebirth that lasts.

Stay mindful…
