[the rules]
6 be more loving
the sixth rule to live by
comes easy to me
for others.
I love easily
and long.
Longer than I should
longer than others have earned
sometimes
but to be more loving
you don’t keep score
or track the balance.
You just love.
Love flows outward
freely and without conditions
otherwise it isn’t true.
Love, like the bloodstream,
must flow out of the heart
and course back in,
enriched with oxygen.
Be more loving.
That includes loving yourself.
