    ...The weight of the world is love. Maybe if I tell it to myself more often, soon enough I’ll believe it....
    Song
    Allen Ginsberg
    The weight of the world
    is love.
    Under the burden
    of solitude,
    under the burden
    of dissatisfaction
    the weight,
    the weight we carry
    is love.
    Who can deny?
    In dreams
    it touches
    the body,
    in thought
    constructs
    a miracle,
    in imagination
    anguishes
    till born
    in human-
    looks out of the heart
    burning with purity-
    for the burden of life
    is love,
    but we carry the weight
    wearily,
    and so must rest
    in the arms of love
    at last,
    must rest in the arms
    of love.
    No rest
    without love,
    no sleep
    without dreams
    of love-
    be mad or chill
    obsessed with angels
    or machines,
    the final wish
    is love
    -cannot be bitter,
    cannot deny,
    cannot withhold
    if denied:
    the weight is too heavy
    -must give
    for no return
    as thought
    is given
    in solitude
    in all the excellence
    of its excess.
    The warm bodies
    shine together
    in the darkness,
    the hand moves
    to the center
    of the flesh,
    the skin trembles
    in happiness
    and the soul comes
    joyful to the eye-
    yes, yes,
    that’s what
    I wanted,
    I always wanted,
    I always wanted,
    to return
    to the body
    where I was born.

    I think Jesus said something like this too. I remember hearing it from my brother, too, when I was young and also when he died. Its true.
