love has no obligation
no duty or expectation
beyond that of truth
in the pursuit of our freedom.
love grows
beyond the fear of punishment
and the gratification of reward
love challenges
all ideas -
feeble and changing-
of who I Am
love is present
and, therefore,
everlasting
love softens
where we have learned to harden
love trusts
and has no ground for fear to flourish
love is whole
and a balm to what seems fragmented
love expands
us beyond all limitation
love is free
from ownership
blame
performance
shame
love is everywhere
love is everything
love is
simply and for no other reason;
love is reason enough
