How beautiful that you have chosen love to guide this year. Since you have also chosen to be a flame of fire in your life, there could be nothing more powerful than for you to invite the joining of these forces, since fire is the vehicle of love. 2025, as all sensitive souls perceive, will be greatly transformative. We step from the valley of search, having caught at last the fragrance of the Beloved, into the valley of love. A strange valley it is of joy and pain, of slavery and freedom.

"Until thou enter the Egypt of love," says Bahá‘u’lláh, "thou shalt never gaze upon the Joseph-like beauty of the Friend; and until, like Jacob, thou forsake thine outward eyes, thou shalt never open the eye of thine inward being; and until thou burn with the fire of love, thou shalt never find thyself in true yearning’s embrace."

I have also chosen to step into love this year, though I will be hanging out with fire's children this time: especially with water. It seems to me we cycle through the seven valleys of life again and again, each time in different ways. Wishing you reunion with your heart's desire!

Thank you for this beautiful message, my friend. Your words resonate deeply, and they feel like a gentle flame illuminating my path. How poetic that you, too, have chosen love to guide your year and that you're walking alongside water. The balance between intensity and flow feels so right. Your reflection on the valleys speaks to me profoundly. I hadn’t heard of the story of the seven valleys before, but it intrigues me so much that I’ll definitely take some time to read about them. They seem like a powerful metaphor for the stages of growth and the cyclical journey we experience in life. The words of Bahá’u’lláh strike such a chord. This idea that burning with the fire of love opens us to yearning, transformation, and the embrace of something greater. I hold that image close as I navigate this year with both the fire I carry within and the love I choose to nurture. May your journey with water and love this year flow effortlessly, revealing new depths and carrying you to the heart of your desires. I’m so grateful for your presence, insight, and the connection we share ♥
