THE PATH OF LOVE

A Way to Heal

In a changing and divided world, there is only one possibility left to us to choose: LOVE.

Recognizing ourselves and others as creations of Love, being Love, giving Love, and acting toward all of life with Love is the path we must follow if our planet is to survive.

But how do we do that? These poems and haikus are meant to offer us a footpath into the dynamics of Love in our lives, beginning with loving ourselves; which then gives us the ability to give Love to our fellow humans, to all beings in the natural world with whom we come into contact, and to Mother Earth. When we offer compassion and kindness to others, it uplifts and blesses all.

AN EXCERPT FROM
THE PATH OF LOVE

Be Love

When everything is falling apart
Be Love; Be a pillar

When you’re worried about what will happen next
what you will do to make money
how to feed yourself and your family
or where you will live
Focus on Love instead of fear

When others judge you
instead of supporting you,
or asking what happened
and how they can help,
Be that Love for yourself

When you see someone
overwhelmed and hurting
or in need of something
that you can give
Be the Love providing abundance

When you wonder if countries
will ever stop
warring and hating
Be Love
Emanating it to the world

For only Love can change things
People have to experience Love
to want it in their lives
and apply it
in their dealings with others

When you see an animal, bird, or insect
hurting – Do something
to relieve their distress
You will know then,
They are truly your relations

… as well as all other humans,
whether they live like you
believe like you
speak like you
or act like you

If you are being Love
you’ll find a way
to embrace them
as your brothers and sisters
Because Love can change everything

When your heart grieves
for all the families
who have lost those they loved to violence
or to a virus that never had to be,
Shine Love and comfort toward them

For energy is real and intrinsic to all life
And when your heart breaks
for the way we treat the Earth, our Mother
and the garbage strewn everywhere,
Get busy

Be Love in action
cleaning up your home,
your town,
your county
Every bit helps and encourages more

Be Love, and someday
the world will grok that we really are
ALL ONE LOVE
