"The purpose of intimate partnership is for us to midwife the perfection in each other. The point of love is to reveal to us the light inside." -- From "Illuminata" by Marianne Williamson

For the average person, the way we seem to access the light inside is through crisis or heartache. Most often, that's where we learn the greatest lessons. Every heartache, every crisis is filled with the potential for transformation. Joseph Campbell said, "Out of the darkness comes the greatest light." We must first be willing to go into the darkness and trust we will come out better.

Love is a wonderful way to learn. Opening our heart and loving makes us vulnerable. When we're vulnerable, we're at greater risk of getting hurt, deeply. It also pushes our buttons. We learn how to be with another, to blend our needs that must be fulfilled. We learn from all the hurts along the way. But those hurts and upsets hold the seeds of new growth as we look at what caused them, why we reacted as we did, looking inward, then making adjustments so we can move closer to our perfection.
