Within each of us, there lays a LOVE.
A LOVE without vengeance.
A LOVE within while still above.
Not above as we think, in space and time,
Not above and out of reach
unable to be mine.

This LOVE supersedes all my tiny thoughts.
My thoughts I think I know, I think I believe, and I effort to show.

If only you would pause with me, beckons This LOVE,
for then your heart would be on the mend,
and you would recognize that
I am not your enemy, I am your Real Friend.

I seek not to destroy you
not to dismay your heart,
I desire only that you release all your many parts.

You think you must do this, do that, and be even more,
yet unlike you, I am not asking you to even any score.
I am not counting up your duties and things
you’ve left undone.
I am only kneeling here before you
asking you to come.

Come as you are whether torn, lost, or glowing.
Inevitably you will find all my Love for you freely flowing.

When you think you’ve had enough
and this world is weighing your body down,
Pause in My LOVE, and let your Loving Self be found.

The choice for LOVE is always yours.
LOVE is motioning you to choose.
And you can be certain,
you have nothing to lose.

In The Pause,

Mary
