My name is Way. Ken Way.

Why
must there be hate? Why
is there an anti-thesis? An anti-matter?
A black hole that wreaks havoc
over cosmic order? Or is disorder,
in fact, the order of the universe?
Chaos, the nature? Hate,
the norm rather than the abnorm?

True,
it is harder to elicit love from woman
than to prod hatred from fellowman.
But I do love a woman.
And love to hate her, too,
sometimes. For the black hole
she unleashes in my heart
sucks the very life out of me.

Yet,
I would gladly be anti-matter
if it meant winning her favor.
So, what choice is there but
to learn how to hate…if only
to convey to my beloved with
authority how much I would
hate to lose her love?

“When one speaks of the soul’s desert, and says that the desert must be present in your life, you must not think only of the Sahara or the desert of Judea…If you cannot go into the desert, you must nonetheless “make some desert” in your life. Every now and then leaving everybody and looking for solitude to restore, in prolonged silence and prayer, the stuff of your soul. This is the meaning of ‘desert’ in your life…you must leave everything and everybody and retire, alone with God. If you don’t look for this solitude, if you don’t love it, you won’t achieve real contemplative prayer.” — Carlo Carretto
