A Love Supreme

I promise that I won't write a 20 page dissertation on what love is. I'll leave that to philosophers, semantic scientist, poets. Though I may be all of the above at one time or the other I won't be that now. My journey on the water allowed me to realize that I had to travel light. I had to let a lot of things go. In doing that I was offered a greater clarity than I had in the past. What is interesting is that a lot of epic journies happen because of Love. While I was taking my journey I started to see why the Bible states that God is Love. That statement is often made without a context. It appears only twice in the Bible. One of the verses is:

"Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love." [1 John 4:8 ]

ALLAH is recorded as saying at one point that he loves those that love him. I had enough time to realize what was the thing bothering me that I had to deal with. I had equated my capacity to love with the success or non success of a particular relationship. My capacity to love though is infinite. Those who don't tap into that won't know me. I can't make a person know me. If you don't do what is necessary to know me you can't love me.

While on the sea a wise Queen made Knowledge Born to me that Love is love. It is one's birthrite. It isn't something that you should have to work for. While contemplating that I realized that love is right here. So on that journey I did come upf with a few jewels.

Love detects and manifests beauty. In that Hebrew (not Greek) acronym for God (Gomer Oz Dubar) the principle that is said to stand for beauty, Dubar, etymologically is rooted in perfection. It is beautiful because it is perfect. I am beautiful because of my perfection ie my ability to correct error.

Love is dynamic and not static.

I found a few beautiful things that I was loving on this journey

*Uprocking on the pier with the taino twins Alicia and Alexandro

*Performing poetry at the Blue Parrot open mic and getting that poetry bug back in my life

*Listening to Cuban Jazz on the top deck at midnight

*Rolling up in that sea side joint and getting to play stand up bass with the house band

*Running to Shelter so to get in one hour

All good stuff.

Peace
