Another note in verse format illustrating my fresh take on life after realising I had been viewing the world through tinted spectacles that distorted reality. In the journey of self discovery that I had embarked on a relatively short time before writing this, such realisations are essential if one it to attain freedom, inner peace and happiness.
Love in Abundance
I see love everywhere,
Where before I saw so many things;
Anything but love
In everything in life.
Before I would walk down the street,
Worrying how I looked,
Thinking how much better I was than others
(or how much worse).
Before I would see hard work
Obligation and burden,
I saw works of art
And pleasant but pointless endeavour.
Before there was strength in independence
Weakness in reliance;
Goodness in giving and
Selfishness and badness in taking.
Now I see a wondrous new world
And everyone is part of a picture,
United by the source of life
The source of all things: love.
Our work, our creations and
Everyone we know or don’t know
Are an expression of love,
A magnificent omnipresence.
How grateful I am to have found
Inner peace in my humanity
With time still to take part
In this amazing game called life.
