When you love you should not say "God is in my heart," but rather,
"I am in the heart of God."
And do not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds
you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and 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 the noon hour and meditate on love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved on your heart
and a song of praise on your lips.
