//
without respect -- there cannot be love
//
now
We know we live in a country
Where our basic liberties and freedoms
are being stolen from us
Are being eroded
And that most of us are feeling hopeless
In regard to doing anything about it
//
So
We see our LOVER in this same state of despair
Of anxiety
Of pain
And how can we respect that ?
•
It is the same in regards to how we are seen
By the LOVER
•
Really
It it is a question of SELF respect
projected outward ...
as CARL JUNG might say
//
WE REFUSE TO SEE THAT WE ARE ALSO PART
OF THE DARKNESS
BUT ONLY SEE THAT THE OTHER IS TO BLAME
//
Hence
We live in fear
In depression
In pain
In self doubt
And loneliness
•
I believe that only by stepping back
So to speak
Into a higher vision
call it
God
Evolution
Revolution
TAO
religion
( whatever )
Can we find the common ground
That will enable us
To respect
OURSELVES
AND OTHERS
and that this is the only
Foundation
From which
LOVE
might grow
And bring 2 ( or more )
People
Together
In common purpose
And with a common Reality
