When love beckons to you,follow him,though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you belive in him,though his voice may shattter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for you growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascend to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you into himself
He threshes you to make you naked
He sifts you to free you from husks
He grinds you to whiteness
He kneads you until you are pliant
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,that you may become sacred bread for God's acred feast.
All this things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart and it that knowledge become a fregment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only lve's only peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing florr, into the seasonless wolrd where you shall laught,but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from it self
Love passesses 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 rathers, " i am in the heart of GOD. "
And think not you can direct the course of love,for love,if it finds you worthy,direct your course .
