LOST LIGHT….LOST LOVE
Watching a documentary that showed scientists in Borneo descending through a vast cave system down through the mountain and coming upon lost light, made me think of it's equivalent, lost love.
How many people have suffered from a lost love either through betrayal, death or simply by not appreciating what they had until it was too late? There are many people with this emotional phenomena in their past, a lifetime of hurt and loss that is never really dealt with, not realising that nothing that has happened ever goes away. Instead of appreciating what that past love gave to us when it was at the surface and remembering it with warmth and joy, the opposite seems to be the case.
As I watched the men and women as they swung into the lost light, savouring the moment with fascination and wonder, not to mention shock, I thought how good it would be for people to wander awhile down memory lane and see with different eyes their past exploits and relationships with that same wonderful revelation.
Most of us have suffered great losses in our lives and many find it hard to survive them, forever living in a cocoon of despair and sadness that eventually brings on one disease or another with all the negative energies being continually renewed. But the so called lost love never goes away completely; it is always there if only we could go back in time with a true recognition of its existence.
The happy times, the learning curves and the memory of what true love really is before we had to move away. Perhaps if we can see the lost love in the lost light as a spiritual light and all that spiritual love, we could be far more appreciative of those we come into contact with every day at the present time.
To know that love and light never disappear should allow us to go there not every day but certainly when we need to for the strength and courage we sometimes need just to get through the present day as life inevitably continues.
The past happened and we can always go there but the trick is not to stay there or drag it behind us, always holding us back and in turn not recognising others in the present who can further our own lives however differently. Then we can all play our part in the Eternal Plan.
