Tenet on Love

After a brief review of this blog, one thing, among many, particularly struck me, which was the breadth of context I originally employed as ways of an introduction. Laziness or other things must have obviously proceeded to slacken my attention to that. In vein of an old, forgotten habit, then, I'll simply further explain: A while ago, before the end of last year, after reading various books, having a few occasions for thought, a few chance meetings, so on and so forth, I had struck upon a focus on the nature of growth, sharing, cohabitation, love and other vague nouns. I was keenly led by a 'Jodorowskian' sense of mysticism and wrote a 'quasi-religious' sermon on love and loving each other.

We must create our paradise,
first within the mind,
for, if we do not know it,
how will we know
when we see or stumble upon it?
We must first think, then act
so the world around us can be made
to fit our image-
as we are all made of this.
We must learn to sing aloud
and learn to give freely;
which is to renounce
the fraternity of vengeance,
and learn to share in happiness
so the  happiness of one
can become one and all's.-
Love one and all and love alike;
never forget the fervor through which love should exist,
and learn to live for this-
for life is short
but all the sweeter for it.
Give generously, without expectation of seeing
your gift returned; as hands are washed
to cleanse them, know no wrong
can come from opened hands-
to give is to be free
and its virtue is its own reward.
Flow, not through, but with all things
and you will overflow with happiness.
