Questions about Love

My friend Melissa wrote these questions for another friend to ponder, and I found them powerful....

Questions about Love

* How are our spiritual journeys and falling in love similar?

* How is falling in love, the path toward love and partnership, a metaphor for going toward God?

* What happens when we let go, or realize how not-in-control we really are?

* Who do we discover in such a state of unbalance, or groundlessness?

* What is this love that you have and feel and live for?

* How is it calling you both to the deep waters where you cannot stand?

* What is it to perceive this time as one where you are not in charge as teachers or leaders or ordained people, but rather: mere humans with hearts?

* What is God asking of you as an individual? As a woman or man?

* Where is God for both of you in this love? In this emotion?

* If God resides at the center of your lives, then what do you have to fear?
