Enslavement is to ego, as freedom is to LOVE…

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Weary spirit solider, a warrior in reality’s shifting tides, body too tired more to fight, as the shadow of fear fades and flows once more into LOVE’S sublime, Divine brilliant light, at last she can let go to kiss the bliss, her battles done, her war won, she is again one…

“The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.” ~ Hermann Hesse

After striving years, perhaps lifetimes in vain, to escape the pain of this, these illusions of matter, by separating my soul, from my flesh I have come now to accept the remembrance, that while being this experience physical, my body and my spirit are not separate things at all, quite the contrary, like all else they are made, created whole by LOVE and the pain I sought so desperately to flee was born of this attempted disassembling and in the re-memberimg came wisdom and then happiness…

LOVE is the language of soul’s emotion, communicated through silent feeling, not words, that is why millenniums of poets, prophets and sages have struggled in vain to find words to describe and define…

LOVE is always infinitely, though one does not always remember LOVE is always infinitely, just as one does not always remember that always they are LOVE infinitely…

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it be rather a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” ~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

A child’s game playing, spirit selves, free flowing, sharing chosen experiences of being, joyfully, without judgement, recrimination or fear; tag your it, I am you, your are me, we are we, we are God, we are LOVE, infinitely…

“Say I Am You

I am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.

To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.

I am morning mist, and the breathing of evening.

I am wind in the top of a grove, and surf on the cliff.

Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.

I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.

The musical air coming through a flute,
a spark of a stone, a flickering in metal.

Both candle and the moth crazy around it.

Rose, and the nightingale lost in the fragrance.

I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
the evolutionary intelligence, the lift,

and the falling away. What is, and what isn’t.

You who know Jelaluddin, You the one in all,

say who I am. Say I am You.” ~ Rumi

Art photo of the woman with the strong horse

The young girl with dark brown curly hair, framing her angelic face, with her big yellow green eyes and olive toned skin, knelt beside her weeping father, holding his tear wet weather wrinkled cheeks gently her in powder soft hands, starring deeply into his tired eyes, she asked, “Daddy dearest why do you cry?” His coarse voice hollow from loss, “My daughter so cherished. I have failed you. All I wanted was to heal the world that you may joyously thrive. But here we stand at the precipice of extinction.” The young girl smiled and said, “Oh Daddy you are so silly. Of course you did not fail. You gave me life and together with all the LOVE we are and have to share the world we will make well.” With that she helped her father to his bone weary feet, slowly rising up into the light of a brilliant new dawn for all mankind; LOVE shall heal all humanity’s fear hath wounded.

If one does not LOVE oneself, then one does not LOVE, for all one is, is LOVE; therefore not loving oneself, is not loving LOVE itself and that is madness…
