inner treasure

What is this hidden gift?

The Spark of Love Eternal

that bears the fruit

of deep rejoicing

spiritual love…

that is shared by two

mindful of achieving

one's own transpiercing

vision of reality

free of sentiment

emotional insecurity

or feelings of embalance

transcends imaginary love

which last only for a moment

like the fallen petals of a flower

out of season never meant to last

Love has a delicate nature

to love is to be gentle

free as a blowing wind

enduring as a flowing river

like the spring that feeds a well

true love can never run dry

the enlightenment of love

exist in every moment

it can not be possessed

nor held on to, denied

nor brought into disgrace

this is love that is fulfilled

beyond the web of emotional needs

Love is a beautiful passion

when it is guided

by the principle of balance

if we lose this balance

in the name of love

then our love has

become unhealthy

do we distinguish

the differnece

between love and desire?

the delicate nature

of true love gives pleasure

whereas the desire of stormy love

creates only pressure…

tender love is truly benficial

“Love is the golden light of the sun rising within your being.

It is the rose which has just opened its eyes. It is the

freshness of dew or the caress of a wave on the shore - all

within you.

“But the dawn becomes noon and finally evening. The early

morning dew evaporates. The rose reaches its fullness and

its petals fall. A wave reaches its crest and returns to

the sea. Then, does love die also? If the love within us

is living, does it also die when it reaches fullness? Can

one hold that certain moment of the sun's first appearance 

on the horizon? Can one make love endure? At what point does

joy of love's presence become the need for its possession?

When one fears it will go away or die is when the need for

its possession aries. At this point love becomes contaminated

with emotion and need, and its original harmony changes to

dissonance. Love then reverts to the realm of duality, and

the presence of the Tao within our hearts is missed.

“When our inner treasure is inexhaustible, we can provide

limitless love and still remain independent and nonpossessive.”
