Falling in Love With Creation

Falling in love with Creation means falling in love with
    ourselves
    each other
    our neighbor

And who is our neighbor?

Draw the circle wide. What does it include?
Who sits with you at the table? And whose table is it? Just yours? Or a co-creation?
Do you join hands—and paws—and wing—and rock—and waves?
    Or just hands?

Who is our neighbor?
    The guy next door with the loud stereo?
    The hive of bees across the street?
    The family boarding the bus to head north to new life, a new language, a new home? New cages?

Draw the circle wide.

Who do you love? How do you love?

Is love a feeling? A decision? An act of will?

We do not stand outside of the Creation we love;
    there is no “out there” out there.
