Romance

Hmm.. I think I'm a spiritual man, and yet, I don't fight to save the pinguins, I eat,meat and then cuss a lot. I'm still think I'm a spiritual man even though peace isn't tattooed on my forehead, yeah,,, I don't live in Byron Bay or wherever a tie died sarong with thongs on the weekend.

I'm still think I'm a spiritual man even though I love sexual fun, enjoy the company of sexy people and have a few beers on a Saturday night. I even think I'm a spiritual guy when I don't believe in a "brand of God" singing at Hillsong or Bear Grylls promoting Jesus on the TV...

I even have the audacity to see that war has an inevitable role in our lives, and that people who seek peace are deluded as much as those who seek war.

I think I'm a spiritual man because I love things. I love people and life and trees and oceans and cats and cows and bricks and kayaks and birth and death and even tsunami.

Love to me is not an action. Love to me is a trust.

Allot of people say to me that they love their partner but they're disappointed in their relationship. It seems they might be confusing loving their partner with something else.

Love means no expectations.

To have no expectations is pretty hard work. it's not very romantic ?

So, even romance is not love. Romance is acceptance, approval, thankfulness and more.

To love is to bring all your emotions into one place. A Lazar place. Emotions make noise so if they are allowed to make their own tune, emotions will burn your love and exhaust you.

Grief, sadness, anger, jealousy, fear, resentment and worry... it's all bits and pieces of love broken off from the main trunk of the tree... emotions are love fragmented, diluted, wasted.

Yes, I think I'm a spiritual guy but I don't dance around candles or talk about star signs or numerology. I don't like herbal medicine much and think most therapy, meditation, yoga and naturopathy is a poorly taught waste of time... But I love that too...

So, I guess I'm challenging what people call spiritual, that straight jacket people try to fit you in so they can sell you another book on tarot... I'd rather go fishing, that's spiritual too.

Start with a flower, love it for it's creation and destruction. A flower is impermanent and loving that journey is at the heart of spiritual awareness.
and what about you ?
