"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field; I'll meet you there." (Rumi)

"But your solitude will be a support
and a home for you,
even in the midst of very unfamiliar circumstances.
And from it you will find all your paths.
(Rainer Maria Rilke)

THE OPPOSITE OF DEATH IS DESIRE.

For as long as space endures
And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I too abide To dispel the misery of the world. For as long as space endures
And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I too abide To dispel the misery of the world.Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving.
To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
and a song of praise upon your lips.
-- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, "On Love"

The Crime

  The Crime is not the love, but the space and time between us. When I'm reading the essay you've dogeared for me and I want to say oh! listen: "there were drawers that pulled out evenly, with a ...

Loving
