Let it Flow Through You
Love,
Let love be your food.
Receive, like air, the love
with which you are gifted.
Breathe out love in return.
Love,
Breathe it in deeply, into every pore,
Widen your lungs with it.
Its nourishing aspect
will turn even earthly food holy.
Drink water as if you were receiving love.
Smile,
And chew food slowly,
as though your gods gave it to you
with their hands of blessing.
Smile,
And let this richness flow through you.
Let it flow through you.
Songs, still silent,
are gathering notes waiting to be sung.
