How to love some-one,
How to love some-thing

How to

How can we
when
the world is whirling around us
and we whirl with
it

How to love some-one

We stop.
We stare.
The stare becomes looking
The looking becomes watching

Watching with gentler, widening eyes
Watching with nostrils wide
open
Watching with inner ears
listening
Listening from the soul

It just happens
When we
stop.

Right there, then, 
in the stopping
we see the eternal moving
dripping its life essence
into the blood of our breath

Right there,
right in front of us,
above,
below,
in the middle,
to all sides


Love,
as a gentle breeze
and a powerful force,
moving

moving in the stillness
the stillness of our being

There it is.
Love.
Adventure.
Stillness.
Love, adventure, stillness.

We know it not by name,
We know it by knowing
