For Love
I know nothing
but what I am
Known by
and
know from
One that is
All

This is so very deep and real..it speaks volumes.Thanks for sharing it...
-
It's almost like when we love someone who is mostly like ourself. Love and truth is like peanut butter and chocolate. Hhaahah. It just tastes good together.
-
I don't care what everyone else says... it's still short.
-
Reading blind, but I did read the cross referenced poem. This reminded me of something I studied eerrm many years ago in the 4th Gospel- the concept of I am (the truth) and Love in this context which is something that is very different from 'romantic love'.Although I studied this, I am not 'religious'. To be, to exist, to accept life, self is to be part of the one-ness which is Love. This poem is an excellent expression of this most difficult idea.

Ah, I love it! All my friends are totally nuts!
Is this heaven?...
-
This is really short, and it's deep, way, way deep. The shortness makes the depth really surprising, and I'm not deep enough to say how deep it is. I stand by my previous comment.
-
I know it wasn't your intention when you first posted this poem, but woman, you made me laugh! And now, now I have no mind to comment the poem, all I know that it's short

Heh! Sorry to be so short with you. I don't suppose you'll be inviting me back then?
-
LOL! I shoulda known...
-
Oh you she-devil and- sayyyyyyyy... this sure is a short poem and it's awfully short too. Are you sure you meant to write such a short poem on purpose or did you just get tired typing? Well either way, it was way beyond my own short span of attention. Perhaps if it hadn't been so short something would have sunk in. But good job because this is an awesome, if slightly short, write.
your pal,
Andy
Edited on Jan 22, 4:39 p.m. because 'was short of breath'. -
LOL! Ok, I shall "keep up the good work", by doing a "good job" writing stuff you can't understand.
-
This was really good. sweet but short. I cant really understand what you are trying to say...anyway good job and keep up the good work....
~rubberduck -
That was a loving poem. Nice and short. To bad you did not think of it now, then you could have entered it in my contest...
Keep up the good work though, you're a great poet... -

-

Wonderful write, like a quote and I love quotes. Just opened a page for AP quotes, where a few of my own live. Love your depth of thought and I know you just glow. Wisdom can do that to people! Should you ever want to join the "quotes," please feel free. Again, I love this write. Succinct, yet weighs hundreds of years of experience. Great to meet you!--Kel

Thank you JD!
I just realized I should separate those quotes more clearly. The first is the motto of the Theosophical Society, the second is mine; the last two being Jung's.

The Jung quote is fantastic. As is this poem, it's what I would call a snippet, a written thought...a moment and a feeling. Really nice and to be such a short piece of work, it carries quite an impact.
-
Thank you, kind sir Glad you appreciate the 'deeper realms'.
~ G
-
ur presentation here is spellbinding and almost hypnotic
i think we oscillate to the same frequency ... well done very much enjoyed the author comments. I have read some Jung but nearly enough ... putting u on favs ... u delve into the deeper realms which is not so common here -
I like this, because it is a reminder that even when we are disconnected from this truth or unware of it, it still remains true. Nice writing.
-
Hi gennelle,
I'd think the One love that is all would be the universal harmony that our Creator meant for us to see. Thanks for this, I agree if I've perceived correctly, agape?

Sweet M, what would you do for the Greatest Love of all? Wouldn't you abandon all belief systems; surrender all indoctrinations, traditions, habits of thinking and conventions?

Dear G, this one has me going around in circles! I cannot speculate on the deeper meaning of these words.
-
Thank you for your sweet and honest comment, allaplgs The best thing I can suggest is to consider the differences between 'belief' (opinion) and 'knowledge' (experience). How do we come to 'believe' (accept) things as 'true'? Which is better; to accept what others say or believe? Or, seek to discover the truth for yourself by experience and direct observation? That's the best place to start...question and test everything.
Love & Light

Thank you Nicolette
Absolutely! Actually, you haven't altered his words...just condensed them He also said:
"Love is a force of destiny whose power reaches from heaven to hell."
Love,
~ Gennelle
-
A poem written with insight and wisdom by someone who is in touch with herself, the world and the higher "things" in life! I guess (if I can alter Jung's words a bit) is not to know love, but to experience it!
-
Kinda strange, and I dunno if I am just stupid, but I dont get it.
I mean I am pretty into stuff and I am smart sometimes, but I just dont understand.
I do know that it sounded good and I guess you did a good job!
Keep it up.
-
i love the short and to the point way this is done, actually there isn't any flaw to this, so you have my thumbs up and good luck in the contest..
-
So very strong and so very true Keep up the wonderful writes and I am going to check out more if I like them I will add you to my favorites and then you will be mentioned on my page.
-
Thank you, Don! Your comments are greatly appreciated. I thought if anyone could tune in to it, you would! Received an im from a friend who said they read it but "didn't get it"; I replied, 'That's ok, it's very zen.' lol!!
Love & light
~ Gennelle

Very philosphical poem..... I refer to the "All" almost everyday of my life. The oneness... unity...... the blessing. Nice write.
Don
