The disciple asked the Teacher, "What is love?" ... "Whatever anyone has ever said about it, that is not it."

Come! Dance in this Light With Me!
Bring Wine From the cellar of Your Heart
If you Can’t find any Come anyway
I have enough To make us both forget We were ever separate from God, Anyone, Anything, Each other
Afraid? Look over the door: “Here, fear becomes Love”
Come! Love will make us each Only Lovers.
*"Only Lovers," Dec. 25.2004

Growing spiritually, you arrive at surrender, at first fearful, but you remain open, receptive.
You watch love take shape and become as it wishes, not as you would have decided or, in the past, did decide.
You realize, you are its servant... and to become love is your destiny.
You were born from love for love, regardless of what anyone has otherwise said, or how you have felt.
Everyone and everything you have loved and been loved by, every moment of feeling love, has borne this hallowed fate.
And you may someday, if not already, be prepared to welcome lying quietly in the dark night, eyes shut, faces appearing, while love moves in and out the heart window having been flung wide open.
