A two-headed leviathan

eventually

consumes itself

Many Celtic portrayals of animals had the animal with its tail in its mouth. The wisdom is old but never grows old.
Thanks for sharing Pryde.

What offers truth is often common throughout faith. Thanks for stopping by. Always a pleasure:)

If my only foe resides within, what about my mother-in-law?
Fascinating bit of work!

[Pryde Foltz]

LOL … yes even your MOL. Thanks for stopping by:)

[Avinash]

In other words none can be our worst enemy other than the thoughts which make us doubt ourselves and pull us down. I know the interpretation could be different for different people.

[Pryde Foltz]

That is pretty close. Another way to look at is … your only foe resides within:)

Growing up as I did saw me quite often wanting love from others. This was absent from life as I new it so i began to take note of myself and love me for who i was and what I stood for. I stand by the notion that you just love yourself before others may love you. We must grow, we must develop....we must be true to us.

Loved this Pryde.

[Pryde Foltz]

So true and more unconditional the love you have for yourself, the deeper you will feel it for another:)

[AaronFreitas]

Best advice I've heard... "love all of yourself." Awesome work :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Aaron:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and if you love yourself too much...others won't get a chance...you will consume yourself with ego...

works that way too...either way...a very well expressed poem....

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Jacob. But hubris is not love. At this point one is the two-headed leviathan incarnate. You know you love yourself when you can't help but also love others. True love is unconditional and goes beyond the romantic and even parental. Because if you are putting conditions on the outside about who you love … you are definitely doing the same to yourself. I am only able to access this kind of thing when I give up my ego/judgment. Alas the flashes of anger and despair still hit … but not so much. Hope you are having a great day. Much of that unconditional love to you, my friend.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, i agree...hubris if at all love, it is demented...

sometimes it is a struggle to give up that ego/judgment...

hope you too are having a great one...and the love back at you...

Tis methinks what the little mole heard before it was soundly wacked. :)

[Pryde Foltz]

There are moles and then there leviathans … there is water and air and then there is mud. I speak to the part that is like air and water … reflective and expansive … the mole is not meant to look in a mirror or at sunshine. So what are you a mole or a mighty leviathan? Choose now before a weasel chooses for you. Drum roll please … death is inevitable.

[Ufi Auttorri ~ UfoAuthor]

LOL! ...why a LEVIATHAN MOLE!!!!!! (of course)

[pink elephant]

[Pryde Foltz]

Absolutely. Thank you, Pink Elephant. Love to you:)
