prayer's answer
May you fall in love
so deeply
that there is no escape.
And after love has writ
its poetry on your human heart
and sung its song in your soul,
may it stretch you beyond all belief.
With its firebird voice
may it crush every bone of resistance
and drag you through pain and loss
and back again —
'til there is nothing left of you
but love.

Years ago (20, 10, 5... maybe even only one...) I wouldn't have been able to relate to that poem.
Oh, I could have intellectually agreed with the premises; but, Relate? nope...
Thank God I got raked over the coals!!!

Yes, it seems what we long for most we also resist most ... until we don't.
