Selfless Universal Love

love,

not a pleasant feeling,
but a grounded tenet of creative renewal.

living communities
on planet earth:

organisms, ecosystems,
tribes and families,

are identities fostering relationships
with other beings and surrounding systems.

the heart of love is equilibrium.
self-interests in balance with needs of others.

when our deepest desire
is happiness for others,

something more universal
than private feelings emerges:

essential facets of living,
sense of fulfillment.

individual freedom
in harmony with the whole.
