“Love is many and truth is just,And so we are; Both What we choose,And we refuse.”

“To scale all love downTo a cupped hand’s size”

“It’s utter sublimation,A feat, this heart’s controlMoment to momentTo scale all love downTo a cupped hand’s size”

“All that I loveI fold over onceAnd once again”

“True that life is given,And received. But truer still:The single-act of givingMakes the offerer the beggar, too—”

“For when down on the kneesThe man (or god) stretches the armsIn giving,It is no accident the handsAre curled like bowls or cups,For he offers self, yetBegs it back again.”

“What we choose to embrace, to be responsive to, is the purest reflection of who we are and what we love.”
