When I consider how
the cause and effect
in all of this,
each flowing stream,
each footfall,
each sprig of early springing green
is Love,
it’s easy, then, to understand
that nothing is left out,
no demons needed
to guard the chasms,
to hold the terror
in some fierce and awful
bargain of control

No need for demons
and no need for hiding —
each loved idea walks freely,
centered, whole.
