Now that I have remembered, awoken, fallen again madly, deeply, wildly in LOVE with LOVE, its light filling me with the joy, the happiness, the bliss of just living; the thought, the imagining of being without LOVE of not BEING in truth the LOVE I am, is a fate far worse than death; that lifeless void that before I existed in, filled not with LOVE, but with the shadows of LOVE, loneliness, anger, jealousy, hate, resentment, fear, I can almost taste bile, metallic, cancer, poison in my mouth. Yes! a forever death I would with all the gratitude in my heart embrace, before BEING just a shell, a vacuum, a no thing, not whole, not alive, not one with LOVE, that is core of my spirit, my soul, my true self…
just LOVE…
