The following is from the 151 writings on love, intimacy and the path to inner peace from David's book, Phoenix Soul: One Man's Search for Love & Inner Peace © 1998 David Essel

Loving You, Loving Me

Something occurred to me today
That brought new meaning into my life
Looking at the loving thoughts I send your way
Wondering if it's more than I could imagine

By being open and loving to you
I sensed it all had a profound meaning
That all along with being open and true
I was giving myself these loving thoughts too
I started to realize how I was feeling
The way I responded to you was meant for me too
I was loving myself more, like a reflection of sorts
Of the gifts I gave to you, I gave to myself

Giving to others opens the way
For hearts to shine and even to play
You let me in and gave me the courage
To love myself back and brighten my day
I forgot how it felt to put someone else first
To think of their feelings, needs and desires
Had I been remiss in doing this for me?
As I laugh, the answer is clear
When I love you, I love me
