The art of creative conflict
Loving is fierce! At least sometimes. To truly love, we have to be up for being passionate, disturbing the peace and giving our wild-hearted nature some breathing space.
We need harmonious connection with others, but we also have the need for authenticity, and because we are all different, we have to deal with conflict.
It takes a certain fierceness of the heart to stand your ground, disagree with others, defend innocence, and make a difference in the world. To be fiercely loving is to wield the emotional energy often called ‘anger’ in a skilful way, in service to life and love. To do that requires us to clear the baggage of the past, so we’re not carrying around childhood rage, just waiting to fire it at anyone who touches our trigger points.
