An Ode To Colour In Two Voices

Does this heart reddened with love, that swells unfathomably, sink to thee?
What ever was, ever will be, will always be surrounded by blackened space.
What of the lily, glistening with morning dew, filling an eye vastly as you?
Vacuous nights color, immeasurably vaster than all that ever was within it.
Yet, can it dim ruby red lips desire, undo it’s flame of love’s fire, ever?
To each there’s but a parley with Cosmos’ black, a short stint, just that.

Thanx for all you do; have a good day 🙂 reality

This question reminds me of the stodgy at ACIM, who make believe ‘one can extend their hearts’; as if it’s an intellectual practice- ‘and eventually it will become true’. That’s just ‘magical thinking’, which Piaget states we should be giving up by four years old. The intellect can’t lead for the life doesn’t follow. If, through your practices and studies, you feel love for all of humanity, life, the Earth and The Cosmos, as I do, then you do; or you don’t. If one’s off by a millimeter they’ll soon be off by a mile on their paths. ‘What goes around comes around’, ‘do unto others as you’d have them do unto you’, ‘know thyself’, ‘for every cause there are enumerable effects’, etc., cliches point in the direction, unless we’re very accurate with our studies, in touch with reality evolutionarily, the cause will end up realizing the opposite of the intentions behind it, within the effects; in all probability. You can’t learn calculus without first learning geometry, etc.; ‘shortcuts are for suckers’, etc… Thanx for all you do, have a great day 🙂 reality

The strongest things one can do is to not waste it, over-eat or throw away food. Even overly ripe items can be used with proper preparation, cooking, etc.. Also, sharing with others who don’t have as much food. As well, real ‘saying of grace’ that I used to do, where no words are uttered, I just close my eyes and bow my head and think of all the ingredients and where they came from, being grateful for them and all who worked to bring them together, then to me; including the Earth and Sun. I.m.h.o.. Thanks for everything everybody does and have a good day 🙂 reality

If ‘love’ were incarnate, ‘what would it do?’; excellent question. Yet, I don’t like ‘using’ my imagination when it comes to reality; knowing is almost always better. First there’s no love incarnate, so, it’s a hypothetical question; probably only realizing the same kind of answers. Much like the words God, hope, etc., love is bally-hooed so much, yet, if we study it it’s simplicity of life in motion itself. Does a toddler not love, or have love? No, they simply do their best, one foot following the other; especially with caring through to loving parent or rents. If we choose to make believe we know instead of discerning, we have to study anew, begin again, what is that; certainly not love- no? In our technocracies sociological programming of us to replace our humanity with exigency, etc., being the norm, we forget each word is a path of study; which serves to evolve us- off by a millimeter, soon off by a mile. Of course ‘departmentalization’ of life, out of us, etc., as well as all other machinations of convolutionaries, etc., are the main ource of lack of experience of giving, getting love. I know I say it alot, yet, still, the intellect can’t lead, for the life doesn’t follow. When we choose the life must follow our intellect’s it’s to our life’s disadvantage, and, of course our intellect’s as well. “…We(e),…”, succeeded to do our best last moment, latest hour and day, that’s experiential knowledge that we’ll do it again in the next moment, hour, day; call it love or whatever, yet, it’s experience- of the life, not the intellect. Then there’s the people who make garnering of ever increasing supposed profit, pleasure and power in ever-increasingly cyclical and centralizing patterns from the ‘use’ of the word ‘love’, in specifically the way your question does; they suggest they know what “Jesus would do”- him being ‘the Prince of love”, etc.. As well, there are the “revolutionary love crowds who ‘use’ love in other ways. Like they say they’re for revolutionary love. As well, just because I study the real teachings of Jesus, the “Prince of Peace” doesn’t mean I’ve ever actually walked his way; though, at times I’ve tried to resemble it. Of course, since love is first and foremost an emotion one has or doesn’t, it’s reality can’t be successfully questioned and is also subjective; so, lots of room for interpretation and projection. Myself, when I feel love, then, I could more successfully answer that question; and, also, I feel a sort of meta-love all the time- which isn’t directed at anyone, rather all life, the Cosmos, the Earth, Gaia, Great Spirit, God, Buddha, etc.. I still don’t want to project what “love would do” because the intellect can’t lead as the life doesn’t follow. For, love is not a thing, and is also not separate from anything else; for e.g., one can be irritated at someone they love- even angry. The truth of what someone feels shouldn’t be projected; the real ness of love within our lives is central to who we are and are not- no place for make believe, no? We forget the elements, ‘let a smile be your ambassador’, etc.; luckily trees don’t forget how to be trees, and the importance of that to the world- or, we’d all already be dead from lack of oxygen, etc.. Simply, walk in nature’s balance, giving back to her abundance. Thanx for all you All do, have a great day 🙂 reality
