THE LOVE
 

The love of life,
the love of love,
the love of all is,
we are at one with it all.

The love of what is,
implies the love of what isn't,
they are like a back and a front,
and both are required to exist.

The love of all good,
implies the love of all bad,
as they are opposites of the same,
the one, single unit of LIFE.

The love of life as we know,
implies the love of death unknown,
it is life as it cycles,
as nature teaches us daily.

The love of the beauty,
the love of the joy,
but to deny life the pain,
is not really knowing what life is.

To go with all that flows,
to realize the oneness and sameness,
to know that nature grows,
to know that each up means a down.

The middle way of life,
the ideal place to find,
it is where all meets,
all comings and all goings.

To know that each happy and each sad,
are a part of each encounter,
to know each hot and each cold,
are part of a seasons of life.

To understand you can't control,
to understand you CAN accept,
to understand how IT flows,
so live NOW, with no regret.
