Happy Valentines to you. Here is a poem about love that encourages us to make every day of our life a celebration of love. I wrote it last week, and read it out for the first time at our Personal Best workshop in London last Friday. I hope you like it:
When they ask you what is your
religion, tell them that it is
love.
And if they ask you what is your
politics, tell them that it is
also love.
If they ask you what that means,
you can tell them your
philosophy is love.
If they want to know anything
else about you, tell them your
favourite occupation is
loving.
And don't forget to tell them
that your nationality is
love.
And that even your blood
group Is love.
Not everyone will stick around
to hear what you say next,
but fear not.
Family and friends may get busy
so as to pretend to forget what
you just said.
It’d drive them crazy now to know
that their blood group is also love,
that their nationality is love,
and that the real work of their
life is love.
One day they will give in, and then
their philosophy will be love,
their politics will be love,
and their religion will be love.
Love gets us all in the end.
We all of us disappear back into
love eventually.
