Love

love is fond gold, to freely give
not subject to space nor time

treasure of the flowered 60’s 
we foolishly squandered for a 
mere nickle and dime….

Hi Anne; spoken like a true warrior. I think, of all that I have touched in life...had privy to embrace, and think myself, if not lord and master, at the least, proud owner...I realize now, pure love, must be free...for it draws-in and nurtures all with little more help than~ to let be. All I want to aspire to...and follow with me, like garment, body and soul of my presence.

Hi Lady: Brought back many memories~ some joyful, some very sad...yet painful. If I said, I would not go back and change some things, could I...it would be a lie. But to say that I do not sickly treasure the sorrow (like an animal caught in trap, and forced to gnaw off its own leg)...then I would be a lie.

Hi Vijay; we thought we knew it all in the 60's, but really were just spinning our wheels in deceit -- smoke made cloudy mirrors. Sad to see so many talented young people yet today, throwing their lives away on drugs. Governments are co-conspirators -- drugged-up, dumbed down is easier to manipulate. Sick. Totally evil -- the karma that visits these political liars when they leave this earth, and become trapped on astral...I would not wish on anybody. Makes Creature-features look tame by horrid comparison.They prepare their own sinful beds. Disbelieving, or simply ignorant of spiritual laws. Blessings my friend.
