SIMPLY LOVE<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Love is simply
\nsomething more
\nthan agendas
\nor judgments;
\nsomething more
\nthan control
\nor appearances;
\nmore than intrusion
\ninto our inner soul.
\nLove is simply being;
\nit is holding.
\nLove is
\nunited fulfillment;
\nit is security,
\nnot control.
\nLove is
\nunconditional
\nacceptance;
\nand<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

LOVE SIMPLY IS.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\nThe idea of Pick-Apart Poetry
\nis to select 25 words from featured
\npoetry selection and using only those
\n25 words (can be used more than once each
\nand “rules” are detailed at the above link),
\ncreate a new piece of your own.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Tonight’s featured piece from which
\nI selected the 25 words that I used in my own:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Love \u2013 The Gift of Peace
\nby Peter Russell<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Love is not something you do,
\nLove is a way of being.
\nAnd more than that.
\nIt is simply being,
\nBeing with another person,
\nhowever they may be.
\nHolding no judgments,
\nhaving no agendas,
\nNo desire to control,
\nNo need to prove your love,
\nNo intrusion upon their soul.
\nNothing but a total acceptance of their being,
\nBorn of your acceptance of yours.
\nUnconditional love is not unconditional approval
\nof another’s actions, irrespective of their effects
\nupon others. It is unconditional love of the being
\nbehind the action. It does not depend upon how
\na person thinks, feels, or behaves. It does not
\npause to assess whether or not another is worthy
\nof affection. It recognizes that beneath all our
\nvarious appearances and activities we all want to
\nfeel loved. In this we are all united.
\nUnconditional love recognizes that we are all to some
\nextent, caught in the belief that our inner satisfaction
\nis determined by what goes on around us. We all feel the
\nneed for security, control, recognition, approval, and
\nstimulus to varying degrees, we all feel threatened from
\ntime to time by things that seem to stand in the way of
\nour fulfillment; and we can all make mistakes.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

**********<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This is always such a fun challenge
\n(and looks as though it should be easier than it is)
\nand I don’t think I’ve missed even one of them
\nsince I began trying them several years ago.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks always for your visits and comments.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
