One of my teachers, Jonathan, says:
There are three things that we need to know, deeper than our own breath:
1. We are Love: nothing more, nothing less.
Calcified, reified, rarified, embodied love.
2. There is enough of everything in the universe.
No need to snatch, grab, greed, lust, crave, despair about anything, especially love.
3. And finally: laughter opens the heart.
Crackled, as with specialty paint.
A broken heart is an open heart.
Being single is like most things:
both sides of the coin are graced.
What I remember from those days of pride
nights of rumbling and range-fed angst
was suspecting in my heart of hearts
that the three pillars noted above
Were all I needed.
The distinction is
Now I know.

Thanks to the Amateur Poet of Figments of Imagination for this week's One Single Impression prompt: single. Visit OSI for more than a single perspective on this prompt!
I will be out of the country for the next week, and will visit my OSI friends’ posts as soon as possible when I return!
