HEARTS & LIVES: Expanding the notion of love

    Just as one leaf has many veins 
    and one tree many a lot of waves,
    why should our hearts be 
    closed or restricted?

    A universe of love is all around us.

    Just as one wave has many droplets 
    and an ocean many waves,
    why should anyone feel clogged or constricted?

    Vast oceans of love surround us.

    In our ignorance, 
    we drink life from tiny cups -
    forgetting that oceans are all around us.

    Pouting face?

    Breathe softly.

    Each moment is an invitation 
    to exp-and.
