Report after report of children, animals, nature, the very soul of
innocence, divinity, grace itself, abused, tortured, maimed, murdered;
the young enlightened women, spirit free, weeps. Tears stream down rose
cheeks, collecting in pools of sorrow, into which it seems she may fall
and drown. An ancient sage, her teacher, from the sacred place in the
woods approaches and lifts her chin gently to look into his wise kind
eyes and asks, "Why do you weep my child, have you forgot
all
that you have come again to know." The women whose face radiates a
sublime purity that would makes even Angels green with envy, stares back
at the sage with a deep empathetic intention to match his own and
answers, "Oh no my beloved mentor, I have not forgot the truth of LOVE I
have remembered. I know that it is all that is real, source; all else
is creator's creation, infinite illusion. The tears that flow are not
for me, but for those who suffer because they still believe this to be
real, having yet to choose to remember to see and the pools my tears
form are not for me in which to fall and drown, but for those who come
in my dreams, asking to have their souls cleansed of the self cast spell
of vanity and forgetting, that they too, with the truth of LOVE
remembered, may again be free."
just LOVE...
