Love
All living things get an assignment from the Earth when we are born and that is – we must love. We don’t know why but that is what we get. In life, love is really the only thing we have to do. The Earth gets us going. Erotic signposts along the days and weeks of our life draw us forward, we find ourselves following particular shapes smells and eyes… we willingly head straight into vacant lots with broken glass, into forests, into social blame and embarrassment, it doesn’t matter – we go.
We follow our path and then after possibly minutes possibly decades we are standing in front of another breathing being who is standing in front of us. We find ourselves staring into the forever-land of one another’s eyes…. The Earth sees us do this and smiles. There could be 10,000 love-makings held in store within that first glance.
But although we all receive love – love is never normal. Now at this time in history the Earth is nothing like normal. Along our erotic path are emergency detours like avalanches and 3 mile wide tornadoes. The Earth is giving us a haunting instruction. We are to use the power of this love to stop the poisons, stop the wars. The Earth doesn’t usually demand anything more than that we love each other but — now we are stopped on our path, we are staring into the by the eyes of the Earth. We must repair this rocky relationship. Ask for forgiveness and get to work. Love the Earth. Do unprecedented, foolish, dangerous things. Love the Earth. Love the Earth.
