Loving 'What Is'

A dear friend is fond of saying,
That he ‘loves what is’,
Consciousness that is playing,
Of which one can ‘feel the kiss’.

Now love is ‘no separation’,
For Consciousness is One,
Appearing as this manifestation,
For Its pleasure and fun.

So loving requires not separating,
Ourselves from the Totality,
Identifying as emanating,
From the Absolute Reality.

Not labelling ourselves as objects,
Or categorizing as in any class,
For this our experience subjects,
To filtering and judging, alas …

If, for instance, we use astrology,
To define who, or what, we are,
Then this adds a layer of mis-identity,
Which can our seeing mar.

For if we identify with our star-sign,
This can prevent us truly ‘loving what is’,
As its properties we may claim as ‘mine’,
Making a filter through which we see amiss.

One can only love ‘what is’ and that see,
With a mind that’s clear and still,
Identifying as an expression of the Totality,
No classes or labels for it to fill. -----------------------------------------------------------------
