“Maybe I’m just a bad friend,” she said. ” Maybe the only way a person can be a good friend is to give themselves up completely and lose themselves.”

Such wisdom has since left her. Foolishness has overtaken her and Self reigns supreme over her consciousness—what little is left.

Those words, however, ring no less true. “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Truly, the epitome of love is self-sacrifice, to give up the self, to lose the self. It is to simply say, “Your desires, your needs, your life, your very being, and everything about you are more important than mine.”

Yes, only when we submit to true love can we understand what it is to truly live. Only then can we experience relationships in the beauty and infinite potential for which we were created. When we submit to love, we submit to the divine purpose of all humanity. What could go wrong?

We speak of “in love” abstractly

As an independent entity

The omnipotent feeling

But in reality, such emotional instability is futility

Shake the Etch-A-Sketch to undo your noodle

“In love” is a state of being

Dive into the ocean to breathe more clearly than you ever did on land

Simultaneously inhale and exhale

Exchange life for life

Understand:

“A fish swims in the sea while the sea is, in a certain sense, contained within the fish.”

Oh, who am I to think

I can move through love and love not move through me?

Shake the Etch-A-Sketch to undo your noodle

“In love” is a state of being

In love is a state of being.

Love is being.

Be in love.

Be love.

Be selflessness.

Be humility

Be peace.

Be justice.

Be honor

Be mercy.

Be patience.

Be generosity.

Be trustworthiness.

Be compassion.

Be (self)respect

Be forgiveness

Be self-control

Be empathy

Be honesty

Be positivism

Be foundational

Unshakable

Unmistakabl-y a child of the Kingdom

Shake the Etch-A-Sketch to undo your noodle

“In love” is the one true state of human being

“A head nods as if to clear the last image from an Etch-A-Sketch.”

As if to replace it with the image of YAH

“Recite and rewrite dictionary definitions of nothingness with metaphysical significance.”

Consider the significance of the metaphysical

Make use of consciousness beyond subconscious accidents

(un)Conscious impotence

Make use of intent

Take two cents from everyone you meet and retire rich with more to leave for our kids than time and money

Constantly on the rise, yet constantly waning

While faith, hope, and love remain unchanging

Grace and peace flow from (th)a steady stream

While sex, drugs, and CEOs rock out somewhere in between

Life and death molehill peaks

A fly’s lifespan—two whole weeks

Are we any less mortal?

(too wholly weak)

Then let us rest in the eternal

If time is money, let us grow tax free like an IRA

Sleep in the sea, not confined in a grave

Flow with deep oceanic currents

Forget the surface and the waves and the sharks and the babes and the birds of prey

And all else which distracts from:

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, trustworthiness, humility and self-control

Life’s an Etch-A-Sketch

Yours is one noodle that can be undid
