Dear Savvy Woman,
I’m re-reading a book of Marianne Williamson’s right now, called “Enchanted Love: The Mystical Power of Intimate Relationships.” I keep coming across these excerpts and little golden nuggets that I have saved and carried with me for years now, since first reading the book.
There’s so much to share here (you’ll have to pick up a copy for yourself) but today what resonates with me is this piece below about staying on our own side of the ‘net’ in a relationship; staying largely in our feminine. Learning how to receive what we need and not trying to make it happen out of desperation, whether it is being courted or working through an issue.
I think about a good friend who recently lost a romance, and she agonizes over how she reached over in with her masculine too much and the bloom wilted. I think about my own relationship, and how I am faced with an issue that keeps me on my toes in terms of staying on my own side of the net in the ‘ match ‘ right now. It’s challenging at times as I want to reach over and use my masculine to ‘fix’ or ‘control’ or ‘change’ what I cannot. I must remain true to myself in my feminine and allow for the process to unfold where I can receive what I need. Just as my friend wanted to receive being courted, but staying in her masculine too much had her courting him, however unconscious it was at the time for her - which it largely was.
“Only a woman with high standards, who has no interest in anything but the most adult interaction between a man and a woman, has the capactiy to inspire a man to learn how to act like one. A man will not be attracted, or at least he will not remain attracted, to a woman who emotionally tries to do the work for him, because in his heart what he wants most is the experience of his own manhood.”
From my savvy heart to yours,
Leslie
