Love Is the Easy Part

To be "involved" can sound a little sly; "Complicated" some one says and rolls his eye! But I protest and politely ask That "involved" be returned unto its proper task. Involved is care to be aware. Look, listen is perceive, receive, immerse in some one/thing other than the self... Not just the facts, Ma'am! Involved is feel, like care, only more like real; not just wash the idea in some other kind, but drink! Inhale with your diaphragm! Involved is hard. If knife to you to me is knife, must I also die? Or knife and not-knife both are true and I be I and also you... Involved is life! Alone, alone is guard. Experience! Broaden means across a space between Two wheels in one track is ahead/behind. Don't sweat the clear, uncluttered mind. It's still okay to keep the I and You in We.

Thank you, Andrea. I do appreciate your comment. Though this way of writing doesn't have a name, it seems to be the way my mind works to keep the emotion alive. Elizabeth
