Simon's meditation on
love
Love is a gift and a talent. A naturally
occurring energy in the universe that is ours to harness for good. It
is a pathway to truth and the divine. It is the most creative of mediums
that can realize the grandest dreams and overcome the greatest obstacles.
So why is it that we are so afraid to open ourselves fully to its transformative
powers, to allow its power to work its miracles through us? When do we
learn to withhold our love, to close our hearts? When do we learn to trade,
beg and barter this glorious resource that is so freely available if we
only clear our hearts and minds.
Unlike gas or coal, love is a renewable
energy source, one that does not pollute.
For all the songs, poetry and theories written
about love anyone can discover new dimensions to the subject and everyone
has the potential within them to become their own expert on the subject.
Love, unlike most things shared, increases
and is amplified when shared.
Aimed well, within ourselves or in society
love will ripple out from its source to the furthest reaches of being
and community, like a cast pebbles influence on a pool.
Loves power can always be enhanced by its
allies, hope and wonder.
Rocks, people, pets , flowers and trees
all benefit from love and contrary to the beliefs of some, people who
experience mental illness can enjoy its benefits as well.
It is also an essential ingredient in therapies
and the recovery process for people affected by a mental illness.
It is available without prescription.
