What is important?

"Beneath the many choices we have to make, love like water, flows back into 

the world through us.  It is the one great secret available to all"

Mark Nepo. "The Book of Awakening"   p. 136

water

flowing, bubbling

penetrating

invasive

nourishing, life giving

once loose

water rushes

rolls

it covers all

it finds any little space

and fills it

moves through it

once loose

it is an irresistible power

a tsunami

like force

so too love

love should not

can not 

must not

be hugged to ourselves

hidden

contained

The Sacred

who is Love insists that 

what is important

is for us to loosen our hearts

and cover our world

with love

To allow the penetrating

power to flow

to fill the wounds

to soothe the raw spaces 

 we are

Love's conduits

this is what is important
