If the glove

doesn’t  fit,

turn it

Speed is the evil twin of noise.

Leisure is the bride of silence.

and you change the world that is seen.

Where your attention is,

there will your heart be also.

Spirit:

the invisible beacon

that lights our way

along forgotten paths

to a remembered homeland.

what I already know,

to re-collect my essence,

to savor the promise

that has been unfolding since my birth,

Lovers begin by frolicking near the shore in the shallow waters of desire, but the currents of time sweep them toward the oceanic depths where the mystery of being, freedom and creation is 10,000 fathoms deep.

Love is an arrow shot from the bow of longing

that flies out sight into the great Beyond.

***

Love adds and multiplies.

Hate divides and subtracts.
