There is no strategy; intermediate step
Between Love and less than love
Nor is there a wrong way that can
Take  us from the right path
Not even prayer can facilitate perfect
Knowing.  All self help is futile and
Harmless.  We cannot there from here
Nor return from tere to here.
Love is apriori from every before and survives
All that is to come.
It is Life and proof of Life
Conquering all
Victorious over every peril
Even the greatest-the experience of
Self annihilation it is triumphant
We hear again still small voice of
Anne Frank saying I still believe
That men are good. She is right.

For  even if we lose this conviction
Succumb to the ruse of false hope
Love shall not fail.
If all that you know be sophistry
Signify nothing and you die on the world's
Stage believing it is so-This be but the proof
that you have overcome the world


You will wake up
That  is the nature of Love
It matters not that it be in
Another place; another time
Another dream.

At the end of his life Winston Churchill
Gave us these haunting poignant
Words "  ...the journey has been
Enjoyable and well worth the making...Once."
  For it is always only once that:
I Live
ThatI Am
Love
Love
