the nature of love
as told by satori
you feel
this or that person makes you feel
makes you feel like no one ever has before
makes you feel something about yourself
something you like
something empowering
that is not love
love is not feeling
love is action in the world
the love that is acted out is a metaphor
for the dao
as close as we get
to god
the feeling is the dividend
a cookie from the divine
but if you gorge yourself on cookies
eschewing your dinner
you get colon cancer of the soul
or you barf
or you get time out
your world is too small
stop staring at the light in your closet
pale reflection that it is of what is eternal
go out and see the sun
and newsflash: no one makes you feel anything
it’s all you, baby
for good or for ill

Colon cancer of the soul….. Now there’s an image!…..
This makes me feel enlightened.
Sorry, I’m being cantankerous today.
do I still get to be obi-wan, or have I crossed that line into phone psychic? *cower*
How many obi-wans are there going to be? How many phone psychics. I vote psychic because it’s got chic in it.
“no one makes you feel anything”
I keep telling my kids that, or at least the “do” variation. They seem to be getting it, whew.
baha… no you’re not charging us yet. until then, obi I say.
that last part, why is that SO hard for most people?
my opinion: inability to accept responsiblity for negative consequences, stemming from a need to always be right and further hindered by a propensity to project their own worst traits onto others.
I like it!
love is gay.
Love youse.
And ‘propensity’ has the word penis in it, albeit slightly dyslexic. Betcha James didn’t even notice that.
I love you Lara… you make me feel… hehehe, like a natural woman? Er, no… but I do get this funny flutter in my stomach like I did when I was boy and would talk to the pretty girls when I chat with you. *wink*
