if I said to you “think”
would you then turn to your mind
the one that is full to the brim
with a past that is filled with violence
prejudice, hatred;
all of the history of men
and the foolishness
of wars and greed.
and remember, I said
“think”
and if just a moment
before you turned
you let go
of all expectations
let go
of all words of direction
and surrendered instead.
lost your mind
and surrendered instead
to your heart;
to the possibility
of a different type of thinking,
one that begins and ends
with love.
so, to go here
whatever the word I say,
and begin with love
whatever the word I say,
begin with love;
to always begin with love.
would this not change the world.
