The beggar reached out and grabbed the hand of the boy lost in despair and said to him, “For a penny I will give you the secret to being a master of LOVE”. The boy smiled kindly, kneeling down, handing the poor man a penny. “Now share with me the secret of being a master of LOVE, for my LOVE left me for another and perhaps if I am master of LOVE, her LOVE I can win back”, he said with slight, but unintended sarcasm.
The beggar touched the boy’s arm with his dirty weathered fingers, looking deeply into the eyes of his soul and spoke these words, “A true master of LOVE, loves until there is no more master, only LOVE”. The boy smiled, looking up into the clear blue sky, his eye squinting in the sun, the boy felt the truth in the beggars words and when he looked back down the beggar was gone, only the penny he had given remained, lying on the ground where the beggar once sat.
The boy laughed from depth of his spirit, for a master had come to him in the form of a beggar to heal his heart and to share the truth of the LOVE, he and his LOVE had shared. He closed his eyes and wished with all his being for his LOVE, all LOVE.
And with that wish, the boy too was gone…
just LOVE…
