Filled With Love

Filled With Love

Fear and love, they say,
are at the basis of all
human endeavors
and in my experience
this is quite true.

If you fear for your children
you do so only because
you love them.
If you fear for your safety
it is only because you love
the life that flows in your veins.
We only fear the loss of things
that we first love.
Good to know that love
always precedes fear
and so will
forever be stronger.

When all the grains of sand
have slipped
through your hands
and you're left
only with your breath
and a whole lot of nothing,
you'll find
all of that nothing
is full of love.
