Welcome to the pilgrim!
Love, what is your command?
Two
brief lines but subtly rich in its message, by Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494)
Shape me –
forever > LOVE!
What if the soul and
heart discern
What is not discernible to the
naked eye?
What if there is
more beyond the heights
Of physical, and
romantic love?
Ah – Yes, to be
deeply loved gives you strength – and
Loving deeply gives
you daring!
But what if you walk
into the green, lush meadow
Of the garden of
your heart,
Hear Love's voice in
the song of a Meadowlark
But without
gratitude
For tears from a
full sky,
Song and
Flowers, your love-devotion
Could die:
Lean on LOVE!
Love’s supply comes
with burning flames
Of yearning to
surrender to its might,
Even though the
tears from your eyes
Grow the roots of
love deeper.
To love someone
because you want love
Is not enough --
To love because
someone needs your love
Is enough!
Loneliness needs
Love!
Love is the presence
of light within,
Love, and love more
. . . and if love hurts,
Walk right on with
LOVE, because
Love moves you,
leaving behind the pain,
And elevates you
higher in its atmosphere, to shine.
Such love is the
beginning of wisdom!
Can we live without
wisdom?
Without the
evocatively beautiful that is LOVE?
Where there is love
there is all of Life!
When you see the
smile of Love that’s
The beginning of
love filling your heart!
If you want to be
with a friend,
Can distance and
time keep you apart?
No! It cannot!
Love is already
there,
It is within – You,
“In word, in
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity!”
Love within you sees
the Beloved’s face
In the landscape of
an inner life,
Which
instantaneously unites.
Listen to Love and
you are in its presence!
But then, don’t mind
distances’ lessons,
It may just fan the
fire of affection,
Love is a force,
more enriching, more formidable
Than any other
so-called power –
Love is All-in all!
It regenerates,
lifts the flower of your being,
And blesses you
immeasurably!
Just a touch of Love
and we become lovers . . .
It seems when we are
waiting for Love,
It’s slow as a
snow-bound roe, but when we are still
And soak every
moment with love,
We experience Love’s
thrill of eternity!
Consistency is its
nature,
Nourishing us with
its bread and sublime wine,
Its cup is full of
encouragement.
LOVE calls out “Be
Mine, live in Me!
And you’ll never
hunger and thirst again!”
Ah then– we love to
love, to love Love!
It makes us kind and
patient with those
Who need LOVE the
most --
Because they live
under a self-imposed burden,
Believing in a
loveless life.
But how can that be?
We are all Love’s
offspring. All!
You cannot stop
Love,
In one way or another
love continues to flow
Like a strong river
of pure energy cutting
Through the valleys
of dry soil, and hard stones.
Perhaps human love
goes through changes,
It evolves, and
If we are careless
dries up.
But LOVE that is
infinite has none beside itself.
It is our guide and
bard and heart,
Trusting Love makes
all things possible!
Even if we yearn for
it without the ability to clearly define…
LOVE defines itself,
and as we yield
To Love and its
vastness we see
Its changelessness
dancing softly within . . .
O we then understand
how Love defines
In the love-rhythm
of our hearts
Each one of us,
including you and I!
poem by Eva Maria
“O learn to love! The lesson is but plain,
And one made perfect never lost again"
--Shakespeare—
"THINK SOLID"
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he!
"Prayer is only another name
for good , clean, direct thinking."
I wish you a Love-filled, and peaceful and prosperous
NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR Eva-Maria
