My favorite line from this song is, "Where there's a flower, there's the sun and the rain...Oh but, it's wonderful. They're both one and the same." Meaning (to me) in order for that beautiful flower to grow you need the rain, which is not so beautiful.
Most recently, my life has been filled with the rain and I'm still waiting on the flowers to grow. But, the mature Raven is more optimistic that they will grow now that she grown more. I really don't think I've ever been the person to feel sorry for myself or say, "Why me?" When things have happened to me, good or bad, I've always tied them together with something that I have done (karma) or someone else's persona/values/spirit.
It is said that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I don't know how "equal" the opposite reaction is when it comes to actions of the heart or actions of love. But the "opposite" can REALLY tear your heart apart.
I've been hurt a lot in my life, I have hurt a lot of people in my life. I never intended to be hurt and I never intended to hurt. I've said before as mean as I may seem, the person who actually knows me understands that I have MUCH, MUCH love in my heart. The hurt I've been through to some extent I had caused myself. By simply not being aware, not loving myself, being naive and being a dreamer....Now, the last thing I mentioned, "being a dreamer" has always been part of me. I very much believe in love, fairy tales and happy endings. I dream for that for myself. However, I worry about the "rain" that someone else may have to endure in order for me to reach that dream. I am so conscious of what my next steps will be and who is watching them and if I want the person watching to emulate or follow in my steps. Right now, I can say that is a big NO...but, once I clear all of this out and move some things around to where they should be, I don't think I will be able to stop someone/anyone from trying or wanting to follow me.
I never believed through any of the pain I've gone through that I didn't deserve JOY. I know I do, because no matter what, I know I'm a good person. I know the type of love I can give and how I can wrap people I love up in my heart and hold them there. I know that the people I love KNOW that I love them, no matter what my mouth may say or what my face may say. They know by my ACTIONS. I know that the ones who love me give me that very kind of love in return ~ When they can. I say that because not everyone knows how to give love freely. Some have conditions on their love only because that is the kind of love that they've always known. Others may not be able to express their love in black and white (like I do, I can be very direct at times)...and finally, some do not love themselves enough to know how to receive the unconditional love that is offered.
I know that I LOVE AND HAVE LOVE. I know that I deserve all the joy that is destined for me. I will NOT claim the pain...I will just do spiritual "pain management" to deal with it and to overcome it.
I thank and appreciate all who will read. Peace.
