I just showed up
And loved her in a way that was true
Fully and unconditionally
No limits and total devotion
I made her laugh
And I spoke poetry to her
We played and danced and
I sang songs to her
When I screwed up
I faced it
When I was hurt I shared it
I let my guard down
And showed myself
Fully
I listened and didn’t try and fix
And most of all
I adored her
And saw her brilliance
And genius and radiance
And decided to serve that force
For the rest of my life.
love
arrived out of the demolition
of self
before love’s truth could flower
all the weeds had to die
don’t imagine it is easy
to surrender the desperate self
but know it is necessary
if love is to blossom
meeting another with no defense
with no armor and no weapons
brings into existence
an ordinary ecstasy
that is worth every moment
of the death rattle
of the one that clings to life.
it’s not just your lover
or that special one,
the one you trust and share your innermost with.
without even realizing it
you are being intimate with everyone
just below the surface of our perceived reality
we are sharing secrets and messages with each other
through gestures, words, expressions, body language and electric signals
we tell each other who we are and what we are about
we can’t help it, it’s our design
and everyone is doing it
we imagine all our relating happens on the surface
but oh! how innocent that thought is, and how wrong
the ocean doesn’t relate on the surface alone
imagine if the ocean were just the waves !
its impossible
you can’t imagine the wave without the ocean
and so it is, everything we do is intimate
all relationships are intimate
and its ok
the future is all about knowing this
because relationships are the key to evolution.
