Love illumines you.
Understand this:
follow the pulse of your being
all the way down
to what wants to be  –
what wants to be seen,
what wants to be known,
what hungers to find its expression

Love illumines you
way down to the core –
love is what courses
underneath everything,
spurring your very existence

Love illumines you
from the inside,
the only light you can see by,
the light by which you are seen –
look how it shines you up
right through whatever else
you may have thought had to be

Look how it shows you are
everything that you are,
right through what others might see,
right to the place you are free.
