The Unconditional Love We Receive

Calm Morning on Rainy Lake by Gary Alan Nelson

It’s the unconditional love we receive
which is our grounding, even when
we believe it leaves;

Far different the counterfeit: with fits and starts, 
impure motives,
or confused heart;

Freedom, our own evolution, is our journey
to protect our authenticity;

We need the purist water, a steady stroke,
the soul of waters' ripples as if God Himself spoke;

Compassion, our lake or ocean, is self acceptance
in the open; then, arms & affirmation to love our very self - 
Unconditional love is within ourselves;

The Divine, the Divine, shines, shines
in Light, in Light, as
Christ or Buddha Consciousness, like a prayer,
evolves inside;

Unconditional love, I believe, nestles, 
supports our body and never leaves.
