command to love


the command to love our neighbors
as ourselves
includes
the implicit command to
receive love from others

this isn't a self-interested love
but
a sustaining love
a love that transcends time and place
and space
and
and
and

this is a love of inclusion
without condition
a love that we need to learn to receive
in fact
we yearn to receive this love

and i believe
we yearn for the true mutuality of this love
in its highest and fullest form
which
always
always
always
includes god
swirling and dancing
in among and beyond
