love of the divine

Don’t do anything today
that can take you away
from yourself –
Push nothing away,
Pain or pleasure, bitter or sweet.
It is love of the divine
that makes you very delicious,
tender like earth
and large and fragrant like
deep forest, patient like the oceans -
Love turns you into itself,
Into a sacred rivers
And holy mountains,
Into a place of pilgrimage
Into a sanctuary 
where people come for
healing and renewal.
