Love

[Kittybriton]

the title i chose for this thread, the adage that "power corrupts. and absolute power corrupts absolutely." is often spoken.

but it has been brought to my attention that the most powerful energy in the universe is also available to every one of us without any need for developing arcane disciplines or following a particular teacher.

this power is scarcely understood by those who have studied it in depth for years, and dismissed as emotive nonsense by those who have not studied it.

but to me, its most impressive quality is that it cannot be abused. it opens possibilities that stretch my imagination but by its very nature, it cannot be misused, nor can it corrupt the user. in fact, the term "user" is inadequate; to use it is to be used by it.

what is this power, and how do you access it? it is love. and my heartfelt desire for you is that you too will be able to divest the word of the mushy connotations that have been overlaid by those who could not grasp it to discover the very force that holds the universe in place, calls life into being, and draws you inexorably to seek the face of your creator to ultimately find that you are a co-equal creator whose destiny awaits!

indeed, there is no miss-use, for all is equal. all is love, wether it be used for self or selflessness. having one that is all powerful and corrupt only strengthens the positive foundations of those who view one as such.

peace to all

a love poem

well, my dear
wish you were here
to rub my back
'til there's no lack

of sweet serenity
like love's own poetry
to soothe my spirit
until i get it

that to tame my ire
and put out the fire
must be on god's time,
his rhythm and rhyme

with feet entrenched
upon the ground
with eyes uplifted
to the journey bound

i am yours, god
come what may
'til the bitter end
of the world's dismay

or could it be
the delightful way
that we once knew
before that day
we chose to throw it all away

with 'i am this'
and 'you are that'
upon those thoughts
did we grow fat

while some chose 'this'
or discarded 'that',
others had no choice
nor had a voice

we could change the world
at the drop of a hat
if all would choose
'this' for 'that'

'that' we could 'lose'
the 'tit for tat'
i'll 'one up' you
now 'give' me 'that'

'that' for all
we'd live the love
from 'below'
to 'above'

from 'within'
to 'without'
if we all
would only shout:

i am yours, god!
