is it really all love?

is love the foundation?

is love the basal substrate?

is love the pure essence of God?

is love the act of all movement?

sometimes non-movement is an act of love

is love the underlying tenacious taffy that bends and folds and stretches and solidifies and melts and infuses itself into the architecture of every aspect of existence and suchness?

we seem to have a coherent seamless reality, that allows us to create, that supports us, and guides us, and inspires us, and it recycles everything, and it seems geared toward the preservation of some kinda sanity even as one grows to encompass more and more of the awe and beauty and extreme power that is all around and within, and it doesn't have to be this way

instead it could all be a perpetual acid trip of madness, just consciousness flowing from one strange mish-mash of archetypal soup to another... and maybe that's really what it is, yet the brain body mind heart soul system is blessed with filtering devices so that the flow of experience is not an endless torrent of insufferable perplexity

there is a peace

and everybody gets a piece

an everlasting peace

it bunches up and concentrates and sometimes seems light years away, but it's always there, always mixed into the soup, and it may take special taste buds to detect it

the taste buds that detect peace

i can taste the love and the grace

i want to taste more peace

maybe i can exercise my peace taste buds and get all peaced-out on peace juice
