Since I know some things about transcendence
and spiritual experiences,
I often think I should be beyond the human need
for romantic love.
I should be more about the Oneness, the nonduality,
the eternal bliss consciousness that supposedly
is beyond conditional love and is everlasting.
I should be clearly aware that even if I found
the love of my life at 80, it would only be
temporary when one of us died and left the other unlike
the permanence of eternal bliss consciousness.
Maybe it’s a deficiency in me that sometimes makes
romantic feelings arise and hope that those who don’t find
their true loves in this life find them in the afterlife.
Maybe I’m more a romantic than a mystic
despite my 24/7 spiritual experience.
Maybe I’ll be a romantic mystic when I die
and ride unicorns in crystalline skies in
expanded states of consciousness with
a long awaited soulmate that is heavenly and
perfect in every way for me.
More likely, I’ve been listening to too many old
love songs today, lol.
