Thought

Were there a force, capable, of changing this changeful world –

For the good

Reversing this concerning descent into madness and negativity

Tell me – would that agent of change… would it be Love

Oh, I know, it’s a heavily burdened word, Love

So many associations. So many expectations. Running the gambit from dark memory to sheer whimsy.

Clear all that, shall we

Shall we redefine it – Love – as simply:

Intelligence and compassion applied fanatically

Then, can that drive all action

Let me know

If so, I’d say, you’re loving your whole world

And is that, perfection.

– James Zealous, Love Poem  

Quote

Shakespeare on thought: 

“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”

Moment of Gratitude 

I’m grateful everyday for the opportunity to sit and just be.

What are you grateful for today? 

Happy Monday,
