When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. |

aum
so beautiful!
emc, gratitude! thank you for the blessings through the expressions of the most sacred thought- love!
gratitude to the lord of inspiration that is love!
this beautiful lamp of thought as love celebrated in thoughts is dance, a momentum that twirls creation, the evolution - all through the vehicle of compassion of knowing oneness and being oneness.
the momentum that twirls within to be the whole, so complete that passion becomes passion and yet contained in total dispassion that is the vast vibrant stillness that allows momentum to flow as inspiration, guided by knowing and the knowing of the joys of supreme surrender and the allowing to simply be.
love is inspiration. falling in love is the fire within inspiration. being love is setting the flame of inspiration through every breath with every breath nearby and afar. falling in love within each moment as one big orgasmic fire of awareness found in each breath- gliding through the rivers of inhale and exhale to simply witness and sumon the magic of each moment.
in love and in awe!
love is first worship to then be source and source form radiant in light.
anbe sivam, may love as oneness be siva blessings, the inner guru awake!
as love and gratitude!
aum |
