When you least suspect it,
shortly after the dawn
of a new day
on some remote shore,
love awakens - boldly.
Aspects of this love
have visited before.
kindling your fire,
shoring up
your steadfast desire
to honor a love of that
which is whole.
Somewhere along your gypsy journey
you did befriend yourself,
did kiss your Anam Cara.
This love contained within
released the clenching grip
of neediness and held rejection.
You rested in a new order of felt wholeness.
Surprise arrived when you met another
who offered their half for love to nest.
"I love you" became an emphatic inclusiveness,
large enough to contain,
perhaps,
the entirety of what is.
Loving what is,
creating and sustaining
this energetic container
for love to nest,
awakening presence
setting loose the contagiousness,
expanding spaciousness,
opening, constantly,
to possibilities
here-to-fore held in nascent dream-scape,
now released. to spread and unfold,
to flourish and intermix
and transform with wings,
the vocabulary, languaging and intent,
the rites of passage
for our human family to
uncover, till and reseed
and work to harvest
our sacredness
held and experienced
in the heart
of authentic relationship.

The intimacy that accompanies and allows love to arrive and nest creates a constant opening of the heart, a constant presence, a constant opening to love. This can be experienced as a rigorous undertaking, this pervasive opening to love. The focus of attention and intention on remaining open in the heart to love is causal, i.e. it causes one to expose their hiding out places, their cynicism, their ducking away from life and from love. There is a boldness and even a fierceness called forth to embrace this degree of intimacy with love, within oneself, and sharing this openness with another, with others, with this world bathed in inherited pain. I propose we get on with embracing this love. Care to join with me in a community in love? Howard@mcq.com; 828.280.4780!
