Again, Fishing in the River Ah, Fool! All I See All Down the Kitchen Sink Bleeding at the Edges Blink in Eternity The Cosmic Seam Deep in the Flow Deep in the Flow II A Deep Sleep Did You Know? Do You Remember That Place?

Take Any Number (by Pete Hughes)

 

Take any number and times it by ten,
Then times it by ten and then times it again.
Then take what you've got
And a handful of rice
And then multiply that
By the last number twice.

Then ask other fathers
How they feel about
Their daughter's wee smile
Or their son's loving eyes
And you'll know
And you'll see that
The question means naught
Despite all the stories of Love
You've been taught.

 

"Unconditional is the only way love can be. Wherever a condition comes in, love disappears. Love can only live like the vast sky. Love knows no boundaries."
Osho
