'when do i fall into love?' or 'Aphorisms regarding I fall into love' 5/28/2010, timothy r gates

I fall into love
every time
I choose to see goodness.
Easy to see the bad,
it takes no choice.
To see the goodness,
I need to first see beyond
my eyes.

We do abhor meanness,
more so, wicked violation of others –
because we know better of our species.
For every holocaust upon a million people
there have been a hundred thousand
willing to die for those being extinguished.
Our species applauds goodness,
more so, righteous uplifting of others –
bigotry is not obliterated by martyrs
without those outside of the aim standing with them.

I fall into love
every time
I behold choices of goodness.
Easy to see the corruption,
it takes no insight to note corruption absolutely corrupting.
St. Catherine's Burning Bush, Tibet's Himalayas,
Auschwitz's Camps, Mississippi's Lynchings –
effigies to struggles' baptism.

I fall into love
every time
I choose to look and see.
