But What Then Do You Use It For

Love is a flower 

that grows in any soil, 

works its sweet miracles 

undaunted by autumn frost 

or winter snow, blooming 

fair and fragrant all the year, 

and blessing those who give 

and those who receive.

– Louisa May Alcott

. . . . .


and how we are all
preparing for that
abrupt waking,
and that calling,
and that moment
we have to say yes,
except it will
not come so grandly,
so Biblically,
but more subtly
and intimately in the face
of the one you know
you have to love

– David Whyte
