May I recognize that you, my partner, are my first choice in helping me open my heart and soul. When I feel differently, may I ask how to return to the essential needs that can open me once again? May I remember to open to your essential needs as well. I ask to hold all of this together, even when it is difficult.
May I recognize that when I am close to you, something has removed me from my source of love. May I open to the source of what is good and true? May I remember that the mutual holding of our essential needs is where inspiration, trust, and love are born. With our different needs, may we develop the courage to treat each other with strength and softness so that truth and real love can guide us.
May we have the courage to face our differences. May we stay true to our essential selves and be dedicated to supporting each other. May we see this as real love, and see all other feelings and desires for what they are. May I remember these higher, truer needs and send this prayer out to those who also long for love.
May I notice where you are more whole and complete than I am. May I remember, at key moments, to surrender to where you are more developed, loving, receptive, or intelligent than I am.
I ask for courage to be honest about my defensive and competitive tendencies, and my insecurities with you. May this honesty help me open up to you. May I focus on gratitude and appreciation that I chose a partner who is more developed in some areas than I am? May I recognize that this will help us flourish as we both give and receive something essential. I ask to integrate areas of your natural, soulful development as I offer mine. This is the source of real love and the key to staying inspired, awake, and connected.
