Love
No one tells you that love and risk are synonymous.
This is a hard truth to bear in this world, I’ve found.
But people also don’t tell you that love comes in so many beautiful forms that perhaps the human tongue has never named or caressed or articulated them all– anima, amor, amatio, cupido, diligentia, ludus, eros, agape, pragma, philautia, zelo Love
Love forms the deepest connective tissues and threads of our psyche and souls– the circle that embraces us all, and this love is vast, sweeping, sublime, teeth– it is the sinew of the divine that runs through all living things. You Me.
It’s the why behind how washing the dishes and a sensual lie-in, lay in, lay on can be erotic. Simple.
That is the wonder of love. The musings that both bring us to our knees in gratitude as well as sorrow, pleasure as well as pain, transcendence and immanence. What shall we choose? Love allows us to stand at the edge of the universe of our knowing and unknowing.

Connaissances
Today my old life died
and my new life spawned
I had a tiny lump
in my throat
My stomach turned
a bit, and I
took a long, deep breath
through the pain
then I realized that I was
hungry for breakfast,
stomach grumbling, I went out
and ate and egg

You are the artist
of your soul, winsome and west
her and just so me

When you know things
When you understand and
Begin
to Evolve
and sure, you’ll
be erroneous again,
don’t forget that
there will always be
People
who will try to tell you
Otherwise
The sky is falling
for them, for sure
rather, Recognize that You
Know
that the sun is rising
You are not nothing
that you do
Exist
they are misinformed
Just as all the ideas
that have ever been flat
lines, no heartbeat
