Love, like water, is "ordinary," and certainly at least as important to our well-being. |
love? Love is ordinary like water. Like water, love can save, or it can sink, a man, a woman, or both together at the same time There are reasons, obviously, for the historicity of water First, we cannot go without it— unless you want to thirst, and soon thereafter die. (all-things-living on Earth require water— for without it they too will grow thirsty, and they also will also die.) —And so if you want to live, you drink water. —and do you drink water? or are you thirsty. Do you have enough water in your life, where you live and breathe and die? Or do you live in in a bad place, Where there is no water (the cliché being the desert of course—….you know—) now look please: If a man lives in the desert, he has to learn how to acquire and amass as much water As he can— …opportunistically, cunningly… and most Resolvedly. ---------------------------- —do you drink water? take baths and showers and swim in the lake by your house by the field? Or do you live and die in a poor country somewhere where there is no clean water to drink. (Like one billion right now.) water, after all, can become infected. H2O turns poisonous When neglected by those who disregard it and take it for granted. —love also must be managed with care, and with concern— Like Water If misused and abused for long love, also, can grow foul and filthy And so kill a man, or a woman, or the and our entire species, even. ---------------------------- Without love why drink water? Is not one as essential as the other For the well-being of the body and the mind? I share my water with you. Will you drink? Please do drink. (I will, if there is enough for myself as well, and if the water is pure, as I believe you are, but I do not know if you are true. Are you—) You are my water, and I am yours. I am your water, and you are mine. Please get thirsty and come to me soon (But do not allow yourself to get so thirsty that you, like me will come to die. thank you—) (Oh...“I’m as clean as a cold mountain spring hot as a natural bath. Am I not thirst-quenching enough…” “(for you I mean?)”) Dcmbr.2.10 |
