When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

love never overcomes... never defeats... never conquers... never prevails... never surmounts... never overpowers... never controls... never destroys... never beats...

love just plays... like a child...

HB,

Perhaps play must overcome love of power... for something must... or what will change???

human being said...

no... the problem is with overcoming...

permanent change never comes with overcoming...
it happens gradually... it permeates... it transforms softly...

not like a sword... but like a worm...
;)
put yourself in the place of a worm and move... how do you do it?
:D

worms never fight... they writhe (oh i know exactly how they do it)... even they are eaten... and thus they change...

love is like this... it feeds to change...

it does not over+come... it penetrates...

the image we create in peoples's minds by our words is very important...

the quote you have here... can never talk of love...

power... overcome...

what is the imagery of thsee words...

they cannot convey love...


that's why it plays like a child...

I have an important woman in my life...I call her my sponsor... she tells me I am living the miracle of love in action... I like that... and yet it makes me wonder about my motives...
this was the trigger from this post

I am not sure how to get out of tautologies and dichotomies...

but at least I can work at doing the next right thing in the name of something other than motivated self interest...
I guess ...I hope ... there are reasons beyond this...

hey friend, Harlequin...


when in love,
love is the motivation
love is the destination
love is the line between these two
love is the path we walk on
love is the dot i'm standing on
love is the dot i'm encompassed by
love is the one and the only one
love is one and only...


and this one is divided into opposing parts...
everything is just a repetition of the same thing... but not needless...

by bringing them together, we become one with the one...

life is gooooooooooooooooooooood!
