what is love?

and can it help
to make us healthy?

yes to last question,
and the first one.....

love is....

write it down on a piece of paper

look at the paper without words in your head
for five or ten minutes,

take a walk
and vaguely have the question in the back of your mind

and come back
and write
for a page or two,
without punctionation
or perfection
or even total clarity

just write to explore
and see
what love
is
getting to mean

for you
