What Is It To Work With Love?

[Guest guest]

"And what is it to work with love?It is to weave the cloth with

threads drawn from our heart,even as if your beloved were to wear

that cloth.It is to build a house with affection,even as if your

beloved were to dwell in that house.It is to sow seeds with

tenderness and reap the harvestwith joy, even as if your beloved were

to eat the fruit.It is to charge all things you fashion with a

breathof your own spirit, and to know that all the blessed deadare

standing about you and watching."

~ Kahlil Gibran

Grace - my 2 1/2 year old grand-daughter, who just said to me for the

first time, this sentence below, while we were talking on the phone:

"Had bagels, Gammie-Baba...Bye Gammie, Wuv You." My heart just

bloomed like a peony gone wild with genetic confetti petals opening

up like, like the light skyed around me, grew lighter, brighter and

clearer in Efflorescence Yes.

"Work is love made visible.And if you cannot work with love but only

with distaste,it is better that you should leave your work and sitat

the gate of the temple and take almsof those who work with joy.For if

you bake bread with indifference,you bake a bitter bread that feedsbut

half man's hunger.And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes,your

grudge distils a poison in the wine.And if you sing though as

angels,and love not the singing, you muffle man's earsto the voices

of the dayand the voices of the night"~ Kahlil Gibran

 

This is the latest picture of me, taken while in Paradise this past

week-end, with Bob and Eric S., my Beloved Friend I lived with prior

to, sitting in his room in Sangha, in Mirth, in Unconditional

Love-charged embarkment into the Unknown, known ... Home -- The

Heart.

Love, the actual form of God, as Sri Ramana did tell us well, and kindly.

 

Love Always,

Mazie
