how could it come to pass that halfway
through my sixty-eighth orbit of the sun
Love
would find me?how, when I was without need
or hunger or even a shy dream that
Love
might find me?perhaps Love, like me, is a homeless vagrant;
like a mysterious night moth,
It seeks out the empty, glowing
innocent heart
and quietly moves inemelle says:
Love’s the ultimate sly squatter

“Unconditional”
by Jennifer Welwood
Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I gain the embrace of the universe;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.
Each condition I flee from pursues me,
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game.
To play it is purest delight;
To honor its form–true devotion.
Dearest Rashani – thank you for this exquisite poem/teaching from Jennifer Welwood.

In loving “fullness without end” ~ ml
So wonderful. So sweet. I am moved and quite joyous for such an opportunity–for your sharing of boundless love.
It won’t sit still, won’t behave for one minute, dearest Katherine!!! It demands to be expressed. I’m a puppet in its Game – just like You, sweet joyous You.
In delight ~ ml
Why is it that when your posts speak of love, or suffering, or any other sentiment (such as fear), all women beings respond immediately, but when they are mostly metaphysical they remain silent? (we hadn’t heard from Leslie for a while).
Alright, alright, love is love and beauty is beauty, they are both the same (ananda)… strings of melody, music to one’s ears and heart… and who does not like or respond to music and dance?
Above the unity of being is the union of love.
Love is the meaning and purpose of duality.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Perhaps this explains our hunger for the love that knows no opposite? Perhaps “women beings” are more transparent to that hunger?
What about you, dear AM?
In ananda ~ ml
Beyond all dogma,
this dharma of human love!
Such exquisiteness.
Looking at my life
I see that only Love
Has been my soul’s companion
From deep inside
My soul cries out:
Do not wait, surrender
For the sake of Love.
-Rumi

Reason has no way to say
its love. Only love opens
that secret.
If you want
to be more alive, love
is the truest health.
