Relationships
like is
a connection
but
love is
beyond connection
… it is essential
to the soul …
one can like someone
but not love them
or one can love someone
but not like them
… so
to like and to love
someone
is the ultimate lift
across time and space
and eternity …
it requires all of joy
and all of sorrow
rolling forth together
in continuous waves
like that
of the ocean
infinite and free
and beyond measure
… it is a letting go …
so it can come back
…
but maybe
the relationship
with one’s self
is the most healing one
of all …
to like and to love
yourself
is like holding
a master key
that opens
every door
until you reach
the One
that needs no key
…
for it is already
open …
and you just walk on
through
or roll or crawl
or get carried
