HYMN TO HUMAN LOVE
There is something we can do
with the sky falling and gas rising
jobs shredding and income going
It is to love. Start small – with a plant, a cat, a dog
unconditionally extend to that which
does not necessarily return your affection -
land, sea, earth, sky – why
people have loved these elements before and after you
and will love them as much as you
It is just a lesson in what you can do
when you choose to love. Now you have extended
from nature to animals to living plants and pets
in time you may choose to love human beings
First you need to find them! They hide well!
Humans have been hunted for their affection since the cave age
and often present targets for wars, seductions, false prophets
Relax.Love yourself. That will get you through times
when no other love seems real.Then be surprised by what you feel
when other love manifests/attuned to you
WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT?
