The importance of love, 22
How many times can you say
that
love is
important?
As many as you want to.
And that seems a little silly.
And silly is one of the best wrods
in the English language.
Along with land and love and work
and joy and ease and laughter.
It's okay to be silly every once in
a while
and it's good to fall in love
often
preferably with the same person
but if that person dies
or leaves you
or you leave
them,
fall in love with someone else
And can you love someone who leaves
you?
Yes.
And can you love someone you leave?
Very important: yes.
Love them while you are with them
and then love them when any
parting comes.
For half a day.
For a week.
For the rest of your lives.
Why stop loving just
because the roof isn't shared
any more?
And what about marriage?
Marriage is good.
An agreement to share the roof,
come hard times or good, come this or that.
Basically: an agreement to work it
out
if things need to be worked out.
I'm a big fan of working things out
as
foreplay.
Let me repeat that:
I'm a big fan of working things out
as
foreplay.
Not this old theatrical way:
of screaming and arguing and then someone
or both bursting into tears
and then the hugs
and then the sex.
Yikes. That's just a recipe for rewarding
screaming cat fights.
No, the working out of listening:
Oh, that's what you think.
Oh, that's what you feel.
Oh, that's how you see it.
Oh, of course you are right from your point of view
and of course I'm right from my point of view
and we don't have to be so coarse as
to demand that only one of us be right.
Let's both be right.
Let's both be wrong.
Let's both be smart.
Let's both be fools.
Ah, their is so much the same
about us.
We are one,
the human family,
the you and me and our love
family,
the awakening to reality family,
and that's the foreplay.
Waking up to the love
that is there
always
for everyone
when we are awake
and certainly for our mate
if we have one
and for ourselves and the trees
and our dogs and cats
and friends
if we don't
love is important
like breathing
it's always there
and when we remember
and experience it:
it feels like our life
is being lived
as we were meant
to
live
ah
yes
love is
important?
As many as you want to.
