Conditioning One’s Unconditional Love
Which are we?
Those who know
Love needn't be object-oriented
Or
Those who worship individuals
Responding only to reciprocal reactions?
Might there be some conditioning needed...
Love without object or flesh
Love that demands no entity
But lives eternally
A sentient ability to be
To see
Smell
Taste
Hear
And touch the untouchable
Except in truth?
Like a desert of sand
Our kernels of existence
You
Me
Remain subject to endless dust storms
That which life's turbulent patterns
Stir up and foist on our consciousness
As the only actuality
Constructs of control
Might such influence
Be void of the principal of love?
Could it be...
In truth
To feel loved
To experience the act of giving love
Is merely a willingness
To be in that state of love
With the tree
The plant
The flower
The human
Even the spirit
Sharing the sublime
Giving back
A part of infinity's passion
As a way of Being?
Yet
We cling to human love so vociferously
As if that were the quintessential manifestation
When so many innocent caressable realities
Our surroundings
Earth's infinite support system
Asks for nothing
But our unqualified living with the grace of love
Void of any simpleton's resistance
Conditioning unconditional love
On the other hand, those who are in love with things. And money is the greatest of all things because it is interchangeable with other things and seemingly, can buy love of another individual if they love money as well.
I prefer the way you describe unconditional love. I'm in love with life. Not human right to life and destruction of the planet, but with every living thing that has created such diversity, so precious we need to preserve it and stop destroying it in the name of progress, wealth and greed (?).
