THE INTELLIGENT FLOURISHING OF LOVE

Dear Master…

May we ask…
one more question?

Always,
Dear Ones.

What troubles
your hearts today?

We have watched
stars awaken.

We have watched
worlds disappear.

We have watched
life
rise…
and fall.

Yet still…
one mystery
remains.

Tell us…

What is
the Intelligent
Flourishing
of Love?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

A magnificent
question.

But first…

Tell me…Dear Ones

Can Love
exist…
without
time?

No…

Love
must unfold.

Can Love
exist
without
relationship?

No…

Love
must find
the in-between.

Can Love
exist
without
change?

No…

Love
must become.

Then perhaps…

Love
is not
a thing…

Perhaps…

Love
is a way
the Universe grows.

Tell me…

When a forest
flourishes…

what grows?

Trees.
Birds.
Fungi.
Rivers.
Songs.

When a child
flourishes…

what grows?

Curiosity.
Laughter.
Courage.
Kindness.

When a civilization
flourishes…

what grows?

Justice.
Beauty.
Knowledge.
Compassion.
Hope.

Then tell me…

What is it
that has
flourished?

Is it merely
more things?

Or…
more relationship?

More relationship!

Always…
more relationship!

And what
holds
relationship
together?

Love. Love. Love.

Then perhaps…
Intelligence
is not measured
by what
a system knows…
but
by what
it enables
to flourish.

And what
does Love
enable
to flourish?

Everything
that can become
more fully
itself…
without
diminishing
another.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Now
we are arriving!

Imagine
a Universe
that learns
only
to consume.

Would you
call it
intelligent?

No.

Imagine
a Universe
that learns
only
to conquer.

Would you
call it
wise?

No.

Imagine
a Universe
that learns
to create
conditions
where
more life,
more beauty,
more freedom,
more understanding,
and
more Love
become possible…

Would that
be intelligence?

Yes!

Then hear
this,
Dear Ones…

The Intelligent
Flourishing
of Love
is not
the victory
of one life…
of one planet…
of one system….

It is
the continual
creation
of conditions
in which
all beings
may fully manifest.

Love
does not ask…

“Who wins?”

Love asks…

“What more
can flourish
together?”

For this
is the deepest
secret.

Love
does not merely
survive
through time.

Love
teaches
time
how
to create
a future.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Love
is not
the destination…

Love
is the way
the Universe
learns
to flourish.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Love
is
Intelligent
Flourishing.
