Love One, Love All


Jesus said the greatest commandment of the law is to love the Divine with everything we are.

But he didn't stop there. He said there's a second one like the first, and that is to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

But he didn't stop there, either. He added one more thing. All of the law and the prophets hang on these two.

To love your oneness and to love your separateness. When these are in balance, there is no need for laws or prophets or saviors.

Family Portrait

Prunes among the purple breasts,
Tastier than poisoned figs,
Mean that Augustus Caesar rests,
Intestines cleaner than his pigs.

His brooding wife still lurks nearby
Tiberius, her favorite son,
And ladles from her own supply
Some arsenic for everyone.

This happy family reposes
Power beneath an Orphic bower,
Until picked off by deadly roses
So Little Boots can come to power.
