amor saca amor


love draws out love
            ~ st. teresa of avila


when life was full
                there was no history

   in the age when life on earth was full,
no one paid any special attention to worthy people,
nor did they single out the people of ability.
   rulers were simply the highest branches on the tree,
and the people were like deer in the woods.
   they were honest and righteous without realizing 
they were doing their duty.
   they loved each other and did not know 
that this was love of neighbor.
   they deceived no one yet they did not know
they were people to be trusted.
   they were reliable and did not know
that this was good faith.
   they lived freely together giving and taking,
and did not know that they were generous.
for this reason their deeds have not been narrated.
   they made no history.

                  ~ chuang tzu
   

we are the light brigade - we are the love brigade!
....and we all shine on..
like the moon and the stars and the sun..
                   instant karma - john lennon
