LOVE & WATER

We shape the world and the world shapes us.

There may well indeed be another planet in the Universe with high
mountains and streams of pure, fast-flowing water, but we do not
know that for a fact.

There may also be other beings in the Universe capable of Love and
Compassion, but also that we do not know for a fact.

Love is like water: wherever it is there in abundance, life flourishes;
And water is like love: wherever it is wasted, polluted, blocked or
dammed, we abuse not just Earth’s defining essence, but also
somehow our own.



LOVE RESONANCE

We shape the world and the world shapes us.

See the electronic keyboard—the synthesizer—with its brittle octaves
made of wired concrete, and its complete lack of sympathetic resonance.

I say to you, when similar sounds no longer spontaneously
vibrate together, when like sounds no longer reflect one another, no
longer mirror each other’s energies, upon which instrument shall we
play our songs of love? Upon which instrument shall we teach our
children the principles of Nature’s way?



LOVE IS ROUND

Love wants to come round.

The performer who must sing.

who must play,

in a space without echoes

quickly cancels

all future

engagements.



HABIT OF PHOTOGRAPHY

When all the world

begins to look

like a photograph,

it is time

to put the cameras

away.
