Love






Love is reckless, not reason.

Reason seeks a profit.


Love comes on strong,

consuming herself, unabashed.


Yet, in the midst of suffering,

Love proceeds like a millstone,

hard surfaced and straightforward.


Having died of self-interest,

she risks everything and asks for nothing.


Love gambles away every gift God bestows.

Without cause God gave us Being;

without cause, give it back again.


-Rumi
