Letting go.

Rather than try to counteract this feeling of being unloveable by counting all the ways that I know myelf to be loved, perhaps what I need to do is to let go of the notion of being lovable.  What does it mean to be lovable anyway?? What makes one lovable?  Are we as individuals inherently lovable?  Or is one’s lovableness connected to one’s having a purpose to exist? It was as I was pondering these questions that the thought popped into my head that I just needed to “let it go”.  As when a thought floats into my conscious mind in meditation and I simply note it as “Thinking” and watch it float away, so do I need to let the idea of being unlovable float away and return my focus to simply being.
