Whoever or whatever you love
loves you more.
That’s why you’re drawn.
It may seem as though you are pursuing.
As though you’re getting closer.
But what is happening
is that the love
is emerging from within you,
where it’s been all along.
Your love is coming out.
As a card.
As a carol.
As cookies.
As peace, joy,
goodwill for all.
Your love is coming out
and there’s nothing you can do
but be merry.

Embracing Love’s Flow
