Love Through All Seasons

What does it mean to you to be loved right here where you live and breathe, eat and occasionally shower? What value would you give our investments of mutual regard? Do you know you can love and be loved for and as who you are right now? And for that sainted sinner you inevitably will become, and for all those you have been since first I laid eyes on you, and smelled you, and listened for your still small and large voices. Love cannot be reduced and confined to just one tense, or even two with those we are committed to and for; And best spreads across all four seasons of sacred change. Love is limited only by mistrusting imagination, WinLose dissonant assumption, reductions of sacred organic integrity to secular strategic mendacity, deducted images distancing us confining what I know and feel for you and us up to now, Not disregarding or over-valuing past and potential future wealth for what feels safe for us today to believe and hope, our reviving health tomorrow. When winters hand out plastic bottled lemon juice and grieving onions too long endured, I would like to trade some for limes and grateful southern summer garlic if you have those to share. Together we might make lemon-lime local aid and add community's basic bullion for regenerate harvest building stone multiculturing soup, green vegetarian and redmeat simmering stews. When life hands us lemons and FixIt unpeeling onions Earth invites rebirthing us to re-imagine all four seasons and three tenses together our re-creolizing cacophany with restoring beverage of healthy re-changing choice for loving peace as resilient ecojustice. Love of who and what, when and where, and why until just us again, revisiting community polycultural outdoor worship during summer health climax And on through fall harvest, and yet another inevitable winterish lemon of creolizing discontent, stuck inside liturgical long-range extended family garden planning plotting sun and water worshiping community love redevelopment, global song and dance sacred restoration, healthy-wealth of peace As integrity of love for WinWin organic choices changing four-seasons from above as below, without as within.
