Summer ’16

“Maybe you’re a seasonal soul.”

I came to think

“Maybe your core being is shedding its leaves,

Once again,

Challenging everything you thought you were;

Revealing what exactly is underneath.

 

Are you ready for your grand unveiling?”

2am Conversations with an Ageless Soul

Wild souls never fear death

“Some things are infinite”

He said

“And Divinity waits for no man.

My greatest adventure is before me.”

 

“I’ve lived life as fully as one can do

Feeling immensely, loving immensely.

Caring is the secret.

Apathy is the true death.“

Misconceptions about Love

Ask for Love

In its truest, purest form.

Ask for it.

But be prepared for the soul-shaking storms that come.

Love never promised to constantly satisfy

To meet your every need

To attend to your every desire

Because if that is what you seek,

Love is not what you are looking for.

Love is not what you are looking for

Because

When the storms come

When the thunder quakes your life

And the lightning dismantles your heart;

You will cry to the Creator

The Giver of your request

And question Love’s sincerity

Because you did not ask for pain,

You did not ask for agony,

You did not ask for a storm to destroy the very fabric of your being.

What fools we are, asking for what we do not know.

Naive in believing the tales of eternal sunshine

Because the pain is a part of love, the misery, the endurance.

Love is long suffering,

Didn’t anyone ever tell you that?

Love is beautiful, yet annihilating.

It will kill your ego, your prior illusory self-concept

Until you are no longer you

But two.

 

So the next time you wail in dismay

At the sorrows that come as God rips a rib from your chest.

Do not lament

Be wise

You cannot experience metamorphic change without pain.

If love is what you are after

Love in its truest, purest form

Brace yourself before you ask

Brace yourself

It is more than worth it.
