Ah, Love!

Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

ah love!

ah sweet mystery of life

sometime I like to think

that love really is the domesticated thing we create

‘love is never having to say you are sorry”

“love is a single soul inhabiting two bodies” (Aristotle, he should have known better)

“love is a feeling you feel when you feel like you have a feeling you never felt before”

Pfffffft!

love is  awesome
make no mistake about that
and

Sacred love points the way

this love created the mountain I look at each day

created the deer (bless their hearts)

and birds

Sacred love created the amazing people around me

and makes sunrises and sunsets

but love cannot be domesticated

but Sacred love also trod the dirt of this creation

and this love challenged that in this world

which has to go

and even the Sacred knew love is sometimes painful

for love was also the cross

I think I probably need to change my definition of love

or at the very least my expectations

for I fear love often comes my way

and I never see it

yes love is in a touch

a kiss

it is in the beauty of creation

but it is also in the challenge

the roll of the eyes

it is in the honest statement which hurts

it is in the challenge offered

when I wander off the way

it is in the person who is totally angry at me – but stays

sometimes love wraps me in warmth

but sometimes it holds me upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

love is a many splendored thing, just not in the

I think 

love is not tame
