...is like a garden
To love is like
Tending a garden
Tilling the soil
Pouring in the required
Water for the moisture
Allowing sunlight
And fresh air
The love just remains
But there is also a love
Where one merges
With the Universe
There no tilling
Nurturing
Nor nourishing
Is required
And in this love
There are not just gardens
But whole lush forests
With all the beautiful animals
The giant mountains
The flowing rivers
Rushing cataracts
Wide oceans and placid lakes
Green fields dancing in the breeze
All beneath the roof of
A beautiful sky
Bedecked with the sun and moon
And all those stars
The love of abandon
Is as wide and deep
Infinite and eternal
As the Universe.

Swahilya, always inspiration in your art. In Al-Anon we believe that love is awareness and acceptance. It is our way of allowing love to be unconditional. To love is awareness of what is and acceptance of its existance. Not so much tending the garden as tending to one's ownself. We are a part of creation, part of the garden, and tend to our own. Each of us is the flower, the butterfly, the cloud in the sky.
As always I open my heart find beauty in your spirituality. It seems we here in the USA devote our lives to financial quest, while the people of India devote your lives to spiritual quest. Of couse, time erodes the polarity of our cultures like water wears the rock. Perhaps in time we will all find the same path. All my love and support in your endevors. Bill.
Namaste Bill: Your thoughts are indeed deep and touch the core. Yes of course, polarities will soon disappear when the west give the east its needs of the material prosperity and takes back the wealth of spiritual endeavour. The twain shall meet on a common ground.
As always beautiful thoughts.
Brotherbill-I slightly differ, with u, east is turning into west and west is turning into east ;)
humanity at large dwelves deep in momentous pleasure and materialism.
