Are You Choosing Love or Fear? (Video)
“Love After Love” by Derek Walcott
The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.” ― Derek Walcott
I’ve always loved this poem. During this week when chocolate and champagne are flying off the shelves, I’m getting curious about how I show up in the world. And I’m wondering how I can be kinder and more loving to myself. Wanna join me?
Every Tuesday, I ask myself a question that will help me slow down and live from the inside out. This week I’m asking, “Am I choosing to come from love or fear?”
