The four elements are at the base of all mortal things and Love and Strive move them all around in relationship to each other.
Where Love blends and merges, Strive separates and articulates.
This happens when 2 individual, autonomous, say it be; humans, atoms, elements, meet.
In a limitless human like I, whom I call ‘I’, there is the need to always articulate and define, underline, the identity of my own being. When we find anyone to blend and merge with, motivated by love, we become a new entity, temporarily, until strive helps us to separate and articulate again the I, whom we call ‘I’, as this particle needs to always stay defining of itself before it can go back to merging again. This is the same dance atoms have, or call it a fight or conflict, as they eventually create a whole new entity, apart from the ones they were when blended.
This is how we meet the world around us and might we meet anyone whom we think would be complimentary of that new entity, motivated by whatever outcome, we will start the dance of love and strive, in order to see if it’s viable. And if yes, then how long before it becomes a super nova?
Anyone who thinks they can love and merge without strive or overcoming conflict is not humbled yet by the laws of pure physics; deeper layers can only be formed after separation, articulation of the self, initiated by conflict. This is necessary and has the function of an even deeper merging from love, after it has been called back to it’s initial purpose. And this calling back and merging again is made up out of the following:
- Clear communication without conflict turning into a battle — conflict in a team facing the same obstacle is the only way through
- Safety inside oneself when articulating the I we call ‘I’
- Safety in believing we are worthy of merging from a place of love after strive
- That the juice is worth the fucking squeeze
A painful truth is that this dance of Love & Strive is somehow desired by many, yet too much to bear by most, as soon as it presents itself. Also, both parties must be ready and accepting of their own fate in this process, knowing that no matter how long the dance would last — it always had a purpose of growth of the individual. They say love is a basic need for survival, to be touched and desired, to be longed for and wanted, to be looked into like a mirror while looking into a mirror. If this is indeed how it is, then I must always remind myself to not turn my dance into shadowboxing from a place of fear. ❤ — River Heuer
