You
You
If you knew
the You that is You
is all the You
You will ever be,
always has been,
and always will be:
Would it make a difference?
By “always has been”
I mean
always,
as in there was
no beginning.
By “always will be”
I mean
there will be
no ending.
By “You,”
I mean
the Loving Consciousness
that formed You …
Wait . . .
There was no beginning . . .
That Loving Consciousness –
let’s just call it Love –
forms You.
Now.
There’s no
past tense
when that
wasn’t so.
If that’s true:
Does it make
a difference to
You?
Is there anything
You still need
to be,
anything
You still need
to have,
that isn’t already
You?
Now . . .
Is there something
You want to
create?
Perhaps a
character
You’d like to
play
for awhile?
A dramedy
You’d like to
perform?
A hero You’d
like to
inhabit?
To demonstrate
how far You can
expand
the boundary of
Love?
Go for it.

Thanks, Rick for uniquely confirming what The Beatles sang and what the Buddha claims: All you need is Love.
