acts of love


i like to visit
the little close places

especially those that are filled with
the tiny beautiful details
that to me
are
the most gracious representations

of love


~

love is the crooked thing,
there is nobody wise enough
to find out all that is in it,
for he would be thinking of love
'till the stars had run away
and the shadows eaten the moon

Beautiful soothing words, steven, thank you so much for your good wishes.

Yes, I believe "love is the crooked thing". It is elusive, difficult to recognize, and enchanting to follow. Love is a good subject.

Goodness, Steven, you had me thinking all day about the "most gracious representations of love." The list is endless. Thanks for the feast!

Your new banner is awe inspiring.
