In the beginning

was the word

LOVE

and God, being LOVE, shared it with

the whole wide world.

Here, take ME into YOU

and multiply the JOY.

LOVE,

free and timeless!

Breathe it into your very LIFE, and

simply let it settle into your very nature.

LOVE  IS

 your very nature.

And at each birthing, sing this song of LOVE.

Breathe LOVE in.

Breathe LOVE out.

More and more and more LOVE

Nothing but LOVE

Nothing but

WAIT!

If it is I who receives LOVE,

then, perhaps, there is even MORE than mere love to be received.

Besides, this feels too easy, too empty, too nothing-like,

and I am certainly not nothing.

In fact, I am something, and something deserves everything.

Well, doesn't it?

Just LOVE, you say? 

Thanks, but no thanks!

             I'm thinking maybe an identity, a reputation,a modus operandi,                   

a purpose--yes, that's it--a purpose!!

Now, you can't argue with that.

Well, I can't just hang around here doing nothing.

I've got WORK to do.

Besides, I'm already feeling a bit weary and breathless

just thinking about this..so much to DO.

Better get busy.

Better stay busy.

Better be busy.

Better be better.

Better BE

                  

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

The Seeker. The prize. As long as it takes. Out there. Just because.

 This is hard work, but surely it's worth it.

I'll just keep at it, try harder, seek harder, work harder!

(Time passes, or not)

Now what was it I came into this world to do?

I'm getting so forgetful.

Hmmmm...I vaguely remember...something about love...my birthright,

My very nature.

Hmmmm...is it still there for the getting?

Or is it too late to ever remember it back

in the beginning

was the only word,

LOVE

never ends...
