Illusions

Have I ever loved someone, in their true creation; flaws and all
Have I ever understood the word unconditioned; practice and preach
Have I ever known someday the world will bring me to my knees; humbling
The lesson of compassion, of love, of acceptance, and forgiveness
My heart has been broken just to be restored much stronger
My soul is awake and fully in pain, good pain
Consequences, heartache, and responsibilities
Your love, your flaws, my love, my flaws; taught us the lesson
The lesson of unconditional love
With my eyes and arms wide open
I see you, all of you, not just an illusion of you
And you teach me to see me, not just an illusion of myself
The veil of illusion is lifting and I see clearly for the first time
The lesson of love, of true heart, of compassion
Not only for others, but also for myself

I have gone nearly a month with no new Silent Thoughts.

My vessel is nearly empty.

...what a wonderful blog. I was playing online chess when my lover from NYC stated something aobut thinking silent thoughts. Of course knowledge is tacit unless expressed. So, I google silent thought expecting a wikipedia article full of profound original ideas. Instead I found these wonderful gentle expressions of peace and love. Thank you.

Not in the garden of the mind, but in the garden of the heart bloom the flowers of love and understanding
