AS LONG AS YOU LIVE FOR LOVE LOVE WILL LIVE THROUGH YOU “Those who live their lives ever seeking To let Love make a way through the challenges Which arise day by day, and who refuse to Allow anything, even the most painful heartbreak To take their Love away or close their hearts To loving will emerge victorious in the end Because Love is our purpose, our path and Our power, the very reason we were born... Love is our greatest need and only Love can make us whole and complete, Love is the song our souls are singing With every beat of our hearts.” --Yeshe Gyamtso I have always seen my writing As something very important-- I have always had respect And care for my own work, Somehow knowing that its precious And that my work has it’s Own work to do in the world, Often in ways and places and for People I may never know about, But vital to their real needs and Sensitively helping them face tough things-- A flash of Love in a loveless life, A steady bright beam of light Beating back the darkness, An innocence and a nobility too, Rarely seen in this self-centered world. My writing is my gift to the world, To those who, like me, Are still out there searching For the way to make Love real, lasting and true; To those who have lives of unremitting Challenge I come tonight to say-- As long as you hold onto Love, fiercely protecting Your own ability to Love, Not surrendering it to some Nasty heartbreak, but defending it Against all the clamoring Painful hurt and fear... As long as you live for Love, Love will live through you... And you—and me—will emerge Victorious in the end. December 1, 2016 Still Mountain Retreat
