Valentines Day. 2012. What’s love got to do with it?
No matter your status, single, coupled, an anti valentine kind of person…or whatever… the least we can do today is to make a commitment to LOVE. More.
Make a vow today to BE love. To smile in kindness at everyone, or at least at one total stranger. Be brave. Send your love out, with random abandon.
Last time I checked the world was not drowning in too much love.
Find love in your heart, and GIVE… it… out.
Repeat. Repeat again.
I can promise you that no matter your status, today will be fabulous for you being LOVE.
Multiply that by 100, or 1000, or 1000000 and we have a movement, the world will be love light.
It starts with you. Simple. Easy.
Love has no desire but to fulfil 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.
Kahlil Gibran
How do you plan to LOVE today…tomorrow, and more?
Hmmm… LOVE it!
thanks Vaughan..glad you liked it.
Ah yes, Love and It’s Incomprehensible Gift… the Law of Totality, unifying and fulfilling! That most essential shift expressed in Being Love, so simple, requiring no deed, no thing that need be done and therefore no more time necessary to do it in. Such an exquisite remedy for the exclusively inclined… a radical maneuver of mind yet so simple and sublime, leaving no thing beyond it’s merciful arc of Absolute Inclusion. The practice is a beginning, yet only beginning is necessary for the idea of Being Love is all at once restorative simply because It is Perfectly True… Love Is Everywhere and Always, and Being What and Who you and all things truly are, is complete in every way. Being Love is the Perfect Practice. The famous american football coach, Vince Lombardi, said, “Practice does not make perfect… Perfect Practice makes perfect!” When Love is permitted It’s Fundamental Influence, then Purpose and Meaning have been restored and all actions and things are now brought into and under It’s Unifying Order… resulting in Peace. Allow Love in awareness and everything is elevated, expanded, and enriched in indescribable detail. Love than is the Thought that renders our practice perfect, our efforts effective, and our Presence Whole and Complete… from which the inherent attributes of Creator and Creation are allowed their Rightful and Essential Influence and all things honored…

I am going to quote my beloved Hafiz,
When no one is looking and I want
To kiss
God
I just lift my own hand
To
My
Mouth,
