Selfless love
Highest love
Is the purest form of love that my fellow meditation practitioners will innerstand deeply.
I wrote this piece as an attempt to communicate how I experience other beings as they are, not related in any way to who they are to me personally.
Obviously in relationship, this love may exist when safety and surrender are the foundation. But needs to be balanced with human love as pertaining to us as individuals.
Divine love without boundaries and reciprocity in relationship is not ideal as we are multilevel human beings ❤️ and the best connections are holistic and messy.

"Vigil"
I light a vigil for myself
For all the parts of me
That have already died
The parts that cease to be either by choice or by force
"There she is" I whisper to myself
Alone so no one will hear
As I grasp the faded photograph
From a cardboard box, I haven’t opened in years
The pungent smell of must
mixed with memories I have long forgotten
Ever since I can remember I thought I would
Yet, I also tried not to
Remember
The echo chamber of the dark grave I once crawled in
Laid to rest I waited there to disappear
And disappear I did
Yet here she is
And there she was
Alive as ever
I realized I never mourned her as I was so caught up in becoming
I tried not to focus on what I ended up losing
Yet even now when my face has grown older and somewhat tired
My index finger and thumb gently hold onto the lost years
The picture of her gazing out into the grease-filled city streets
Run down with rats and roaches by night
Though the day seems fair weather at first glance
The Victorian edge and colonial buildings jagged
Living their days cutting deep into city dwellers
As they try to convince us they represent true culture and important history
I do in fact remember the moment in this photograph.
Cozy in the down coat that Grandma bought me.
My hair fried from trying too hard
My face chiseled gritting my teeth so hard holding onto living with dear life
I line up battery-powered candles that have yet to be a flame
I see her, thin on this paper.
A moment captured in time
My face, the same face I have now.
Except this face is alive.
