Whitney Houston ‘I Will Always Love You’ Love is Who You Are
Imagine the love in this remarkable song ‘I will always love you’ was projected out into the world to every person. Imagine if we could feel this for everyone we meet. To live in a perfect state of grace. Perhaps our training ground is in our romantic relationships, but imagine when the sexual energy subsides and we settle into a comfortable happy relationship with someone but still can look into their eyes and sing this love song. This is what unconditional love looks like in relationships. Imagine if the world learns to live in this love.
I remember a wise saying which said ‘the love you withhold is the pain you carry’. I felt instantly the wisdom in these words so in my own life I try to live the opposite of this. As a peace clown I go out onto the streets and open my arms and eyes to everyone. I see nothing but beauty. I feel no tension or judgement or boredom or aloneness, I feel only love for all that is around me. It is the most incredible sensation. I have to laugh it feels as fulfilling as making love. In a sense it is as you just open your heart to all with a spirit of goodwill and peace.
May love abound in your personal relationships and then turn it around and project it into every beautiful face as a statement that ‘you are worthy’, ‘you are awesome’, ‘you are unique’, ‘there is no other like you and what a privilege it is to meet you’. I don’t care if you are disfigured, deformed, ugly or disabled in the eyes of society, in my eyes I see nothing but beauty. Do you think this is romantic, it sure is. When I was clowning in refugee camps, disability places, children with deformities, Aids, leprosy communities and hospitals. I saw nothing but beauty in the eyes of these people. In those moment I feel the privilege of being a clown.
In my day to day life I often wonder at those who walk past me that I didn’t meet, those potential friends walking past. I am not lost in my thoughts or switching off (as everyone does) I am awake and aware and noticing you. I see no strangers only potential friends. The world is indeed my family and I celebrate that you are all here. Even when you feel negative or unhappy I still can see this incredible candle glowing that is the hope for humanity.
I sense this incredible love will permeate the world and then we will truly know what the Garden of Eden truly was.
Peace to you and enjoy this inspirational song. It is this feeling that brings peace to this sad planet. Be the change you wish to see.
Here is a poem to kick off this universal love.
ONLY LOVE IS REAL
Love is not a word,
Agape is not a gap,
Love is not an answer,
Nor is it a question,
For it is unquestioned
When it is known,
Yet it always leaves a mark.
It lives in all subtle relationships,
It flowers in the summer sun,
And rains in droplets of chariots,
Crystal tears of gratitude,
Energy in motion,
For this is the e-motion
Of Gaia.
Love is an expanse
That has no horizon,
For Orion is light years away,
Yet the light twinkles as if
a memory of the universe is winking,
Reminding us of our mortality,
Yet love is immortal,
It is a portal to greater truth.
I have been gifted
for it is this shiny diamond that I carry,
The shine comes from within,
For no matter the exterior,
No matter how coarse or hard,
The diamond glitters for each is a star,
In the horizon of my dreams,
Reminding me of vitality,
Optimism is the precipice of hope,
For always it is living in my vision,
As I close my eyes in stormy weather,
I can still see the halo,
Over the crest of the rainbow,
Which is always a symbol
For new beginnings are seeking me.
For the gold is in the alchemy,
Transformation is in philosophy,
For one cannot buy happiness,
And there are no walls in truth,
For no-one is ever excluded,
Only love is denied natural expression.
This is the greatest desert,
The mirage of lovers come and go,
Yet love is the angel that never leaves,
Love endures all things,
Love forgives everything,
Love loses,
Let’s go,
Compromises,
Lives simply,
So another can simply live.
For there is no greater wealth,
Or feeling of satisfaction,
That fulfils the aching heart,
Then the eyes of love,
That sees no evil,
Speaks no evil,
Hears not evil,
For the mirror image of evil … live
in the eyes of innocence,
Yet when one looks to see,
Into this reflection,
Love is looking back,
For in your eyes I see myself,
And in my eyes I see you,
For when I love myself,
I love you,
And when you love yourself,
You love me,
As I looked up into your eyes,
Nothing existed,
Only love is real.
There is no rock to carve your name,
There is no life line to pull me in,
For the sea is an ocean of possibility,
And I am not drowning I am free,
For love is never in doubt,
There is never a drought,
Love is infinite gratitude,
It is wild and free,
For unconditional love,
Needs nothing,
It only gives,
Sustain-ability.
Imagine a world built on this foundation,
This is the philosopher’s stone
from which I carve,
‘I think therefore I am’ is stone,
‘I feel therefore I see’ is wind,
One never moves,
Emotion is the ocean of perpetual motion.
Therefore: the wise ones ask…
The stone age or wind power?
