Return To The Intimate Roots Of Our Own Being. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Love is the chief
motivating force of life.
Love is above all things.

All of us want, or need, to be loved.

The need for love is
the most basic of
human impulses.

We cover this need with
patterns of self-protection
or images of self-reliance.

But it is always present,
whether hidden or visible.

In human relationships,
we seek for love
project our need
on to parents,
partners, friends, lovers.

The denial of love
causes wounds
that we carry with us.

This unmet need haunts us,
driving us into addictions.
or self-destructive patterns.

If our need for love
is met we feel nourished
in the depths of our being.

We have to return to the intimate
roots of our own being.

And here we discover
that the source
and answer to
this primal need
is not separate from us,
but part of our own
essential nature,
our own true being.

Lovers don't simply meet.
They're in each other all along.
