When love beckans to you,follw 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 believe in him. Though his voice may shatter 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 your growth so is the for your pruning. Even as he ascends 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 un to himself. He threhes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your huks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you untill you are pliant; and then he assigns you to his sacred fire,that you may become sacred bread for Gods sacred feast All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart,and in that knowledge become a fragment of lifes heart. But if in your fear you would seek only loves peace and loves pleasure,Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of loves threshing-floor.in to the seasonsless world where you shall laugh,but not all of your laughter,and weep,but not all of your tears. Love gives naugth but it self and takes naugth but from it self.Love possesses not 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.
