LOVE IS LIKE WATER
Love is like the water
The fish swims in
It is everywhere
An invisible field
Of vibrant energy
Like the air
The bird soars in
It is infinite
It is the oxygen we breathe
The blood in our veins
Skin, bone and hair
It is the fabric
From which we are sown
And the void from which
Our pulse arises
Love is that which animates us
It cannot be created or made
For it is ever present
But we can peel away the layers of falseness
And discover what has been there always
In our willingness to surrender the thorny self
With all its conditionality
And fall helplessly into the unknown
A whole new awareness becomes available
And there it is, love like water.
