Love is a pure energy
which radiates or oozes out
those open and exploring
soak it in through their pores
those with ingrained unhealthy habits
like jealous, envy, greed and anger
tend to blindly erect a barrier
insecure and scared to let anything in
this energy dwells deep within us
something the Beatles sort
when they found wealth and fame
left them unsatisfied, hollow within
they learnt to meditate in India
where joyful bliss opened their hearts
and increased their profound creativity
may many follow their wise move!
inspired by Paul Saltzman’s “Meeting the Beatles in India” which I reviewed
aroused 
We all find out eventually that there is more to fulfillment than material things… The fortunate among us discover an inner life and that wellspring of hope, love, and charity. It is with those that we can find happiness and contentment!

Yes, we hope many learn this lesson young…that love, compassion, good deeds, sharing, ETC., make our hearts open and grow! Which brings us joy, peace, contentment, ETC. These things do not come from money or fame. 🙂
