All Is Full Of Love

This song by Bjork has been an emotional mainstay for me over the past two weeks. It fist I thought it was another song directed at narcissists... but instead, I listened to it... is actually a song for people like me, Bjork or my most beloved friends.

She lets people know... who feel so much love and often feel so unloved that love is there. The song says to look elsewhere for the love we too often seek from people who are self centered and just feign love to get what they want.

It is also an invitation to seek love from people who can really give it to us. According to the functional cognitive type models... we seek love more as a treasure that we must find and dig out. We devote our energy and hope to find this love from people who not only do not give us the treasure map to their hearts... but give us a fake one with an ever moving "x marks the spot". The directions you are staring at.

The love is there. It is all around us... right there to have. We just need to connect our phone and say "hello". Open our doors...

I am on the line... is anyone ready to answer?

I know I am loved. I value that love deeply.

My love is also valuable... who values that which is given and not hidden? Often what people want you to think their love is hidden but instead it does not exist. It is a fake carrot. The source you have poured yourself into.

The lyrics:

you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you

all is full of love
you just aint receiving
all is full of love
your phone is off the hook
all is full of love
your doors are all shut
all is full of love!

all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
