ACTS OF LOVE

Love is not a word
Or a thought.
It is the name for
An action
That breathes from its light.
What do you
DO
In Love's name?
And is it only done
Outside
In the light?
Or with an inner
Flame
Illuminating
Love's
TRUE
Name?

I want to know.

Are your actions
Done by remote
Or with
SOUL?
And when you say
You love someone,
Does a light go off
Inside at all?

What have
YOU
Done
In the
Name of
LOVE?

Because,
Really,
I want to know.

I have learned this: it is not what one does that is wrong, but what one becomes as a consequence of it.

We can't make you do anything, but we can make you wish you had. - Army saying

The Master doesn't try to be powerful;
thus he is truly powerful.
The ordinary man keeps reaching for power;
thus he never has enough.

The Master does nothing,
yet he leaves nothing undone.
The ordinary man is always ding things,
yet many more are left to be done.
[…]
Therefore the Master concerns himself
With the depths and not the surface,
With the fruit and not the flower.
[…]
Teaching without words,
Performing without actions:
That is the Master’s way.
[…]
The Master arrives without leaving,
Sees the light without looking,
Achieves without doing a thing.
[…]
The Master is above the people,
And no one feels oppressed.
She goes ahead of the people,
And no feels manipulated.
The whole world is grateful to her.
Because she completes with no one,
No one can complete with her.

Actions are most important in life: act with love, kindness, understanding, and compassion toward others that they may bear witness to your belief(s).

You are
never responsible for the actions of others; you are only responsible for you.
