Today’s quotes follow up yesterday’s Daily Reflection about the desire and importance of being held in life…
“Sometimes you just need to be held by the right person and all of life’s stress just melts away.” (Unknown )
“Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body’s deeper need, the need for genuine love. Every time you are able to go beyond the body’s superficial desires for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity.” (Henri Nouwen)
“I may be strong and able to carry myself through many situations. But, really, sometimes I just want to be held and told everything will be okay. And you know what, it’s okay to want that, because it’s what God would want for me as well.” (Andrew Arthur Dawson)
“I would rather spend a lifetime getting to know someone who shows their love by wanting to hold me tightly than someone who says they find me attractive or even hot.” (Andrew Arthur Dawson)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
