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

its been months.......

love for me is
reaching
and longing
and yearning
and covenanting
and partnering
and wondering
and looking
and asking
and admiring
and hoping
and liking
and talking
and listening
and silence
and touching
and being touched
and touching back
and supporting
and dreaming
and dreaming with
and dreaming for
and sharing
and caressing
and praying
and God within
and looking forward to
and snuggling with
and being better together, than apart
