Amoria: Embracing Divine Self-Love

Written by Miguel Santiago

Once, there was a woman named Isolde who lived in a small, unassuming village nestled amongst the verdant hills. While most of the village women worried about the mundane realities of life – sewing, gathering, cooking – Isolde was intrigued by a higher calling: the beauty and uniqueness of the human form.

Tall and graceful with radiant emerald eyes, she was the incarnation of the female form’s splendour. Despite living where people didn’t value physical appearance, she had an innate appreciation for her physique, taking measures to maintain her well-being.

One night, as she sat by the tranquil riverbank, staring at her reflection under the star-speckled sky, she spoke to the universe. “I understand my mortal life is short, but I choose to spend it appreciating the miracle of human existence, particularly the symphony that is the human body.”

A soft murmur echoed through the air, and a voice as old as time spoke, “To love oneself is the first step in understanding the essence of love.” The voice belonged to a radiant being descending from the heavens – Aphrodite, the Goddess of love herself.

Isolde’s profound respect moved Aphrodite for her human form and her love for it. She said, “Your deep reverence for the human body, in its perfect imperfection, mirrors the very essence of my being. I sense an unprecedented adoration, a unique brand of love that can enlighten and empower.”
