Innocence in Love

Love in Rehabilitation Series : IX

We commonly associate love with the quality of innocence. But hey, a closer look creates even more surprises. It dares us to affirm its nature.  In delving into its details, its even more surprising and creates an eye opener.

 

Nobody disputes the fact that we can't know everything. That is the product of the alchemist of years gone by who went on a feverish hunt for the fountain of youth. These days we contend ourselves with a firm handshake, eye contact or a benevolent smile to seal the agreement. That leaves a wide field open in our subtle passions that is left untouched.

 

It is an area that no man or anima comes to. It is the area of non-attachment but it knows of no form or name with which to associate a belief or a truth. It is universal and has probably been that way for eons.

 

A person may therefore wonder at the way it works. Not subject to any influence, it probably steers a close passage to our daily encounters and brings to our conversations an attitude regarding intent or motivation. In a universe in which all things come to relate to each other, it must obviously create a common rationale for each situation. Ultimately it builds a platform of belief  … subject to a reliance on the man for the facts.

 

Such are the beginnings of innocence certainly. But thereafter with all the vitriol that we pour into that place do we actually change its experience somehow? What I encountered persuaded me that it  has been untouched. I figure we create a block to what we perceive as foolish naivety. This saves the place from our own mayhem of disbelief. Its probably there today in everyone, still going on with its rational and understanding of what we have come to in our experiences.

 

I don't suppose it'll ever be possible for me to sell this to anyone. People avoid snake oil medication these days. But one person taking the trouble to dig a little deeper, past the raging storms and fires will be surprised at what they find. Certainly we are relying on logic in our present enterprise to say its naturally existing.

 

I went there but I wish I could have brought back a souvenir or something to prove that its there. It speaks in intimations and most often it does with a persuasion that its for each individual to find out for themselves … if not in their knowledge of self then perhaps in their dreams. That I'm afraid is as good as it gets ... goodnight folks … sweet dreams.

Author's Note

At the suggestion of the poet Pryde Foltz I am attempting a further simplification of the language usage to engage a wider need. I hope I'm doing that without causing a shift in content. I hope to work with this for a while. Your views are welcomed.
