NOTHING is lovely to the unloving. This is because they are CREATING ugliness. ~ Wapnick, Kenneth. Absence from Felicity : The Story of Helen Schucman and Her Scribing of A Course in Miracles.

If we do not love…
think about how low a bar
that establishes!
It says nothing of disdain,
of hating, of scorn,
of contempt. Rather
just not affirmatively loving…
Nothing is lovely if a person
lacks love. Rather than seeing
something…anything…as lovely,
you can only create ugliness.
How sad. In everything
make the world uglier.
Thank you, no.
I chose to love.
