How I Love
How I Love
...now that I know...
As my love grows,
my long list
of likes and dislikes
is shrinking.
I now love the rain.
I love the snow.
Above all I love
those spirits helping
the flowers to grow.
I love the desert.
I love the sea.
I love the vines
growing wildly between
you and me.
I love my suffering.
I love my joy.
I love my life.
I know there's nothing
I need to destroy.
I love you.
I love me.
I love this world.
Oh how I love all three!
That is the real spiritual awakening, when something emerges from within you that is deeper than who you thought you were. So, the person is still there, but one could almost say that something more powerful shines through the person.
~ Eckhart Tolle
