A Conversation With The Forgotten Recluse (translated from ______)

...Sir, I have come very far, for I have heard that You are the One

whom Nobody Understands.

I heard you were once a great Musician, composing Songs

Nobody could Understand; sung in a Key Nobody could hear.

...Sir, I too wish to compose Music, but not sound that generates Outward,

no—rather, sound Gathered from All things and directed Inward,—

I wish to Live in this Song, but have not been able to build it—

Most seek Houses for Shelter. I seek Music. Can you help me sir?

"Love is the Fuel of the Universe–

without it, we become weak–

we lose our balance and Fall, 

for we are Upright Creatures.—

Love is a Forest.—

One need only look Through the Trees

for both proof and Inspiration—

The forest does not look outward

for strength or fuel—it Is everything—

everything it needs to conquer,

succeed, expand, and prosper.

It does not question the Fire

But allows and forgives

while standing proud and sure, 

of its regenerative Power.

"Life is suffering" say the weak—

they have lost their balance

and crawl, seeking Pity while

forgetting their past laughter.

"Yes" say the Upright 

"for without suffering,

there can be no Love"—

we all draw water from the same Well

and water weighs the same

no matter our Strength.

We are Vulnerable, just as the Forest—

As All Life—as Love.—

Accept, Allow and Love also This.

The Barren Land Loves the Forest

For it knows it is coming—

The Forest does not Pity the Desert

but sees Opportunity.

The Forest does not curse the Fire,

the Tornado, the Deluge, nor Draught—

but understands, accepts, and adapts.

The Forest never loses sight of its Goal

for its essence is 'Goal'—

Attention and Intention—

This is Love.

Let it Bloom.

Let it Die.

Let it Transcend....

We All Embody Love

for by it, we are Born.—

It is nothing we must seek out, 

but realize, wait for, and accept. 

Nothing else has ours.

Nobody else has ours.

Every life-form has Purpose—

It is Universal Law—

Even momentum has purpose—

crawling slows our momentum

accelerating Decline.

Weakness then, makes room

for fear and isolated suffering

to form clouds and cast shadows—

when we, as the Forest—

Love the Sun but do not expect it.

The Forest is Memory

it is a scavenger

that squanders nothing—

the forest has many long arms.

We are not the only Forces in the World

Thus we understand and accept

Life's Challenges—

reluctance is weakness,

Doubt is Ignorant

And Fear is unharnessed Potential.

Fire, Clouds, Hunger, parasites—

to understand all is to Love,

and Love is the Net

to all Condition's Pitfalls."
