“When We Allow True Love to Find Us, We Need Nothing More”

I replied to that line in Rip Parker’s post today, “It’s always there. It’s not a matter of finding. It’s simply letting it in.”

many search for love
in too many wrong places
seekers rarely find
through an open heart and mind
you may find already there

If I were to have a male member of my “Da Bomb Squad,” it would be Rip. Not that I have anything against men, some of my best friends are men, just that my energy doesn’t connect with men on Medium or IRL as well as it does with Anthi Psomiadou, Claire Kelly, Marcia Abboud, bestill-my-heart-and-other-parts Kim Petersen, jules - Miz Mindful, I oft-neglect-to-mention Terry Pottinger, grungy Saint Nancy, and co-raver from another life, delicious Marcia damn she shook that blood. Oh fuck my shit, forgive me Conni Walkup Hull, who I love so much, especially as you reached out to me.

Rip though, he’s different from other men I’ve encountered on Medium, and as he enters the portal to the portal to the portal back home to the other side, I want to recognize him and his short and simple meditations.
