LXIII

Not for me is the love that knows no restraint, but like the foaming¹ wine that having burst its vessel² in a moment would run to waste.

 

Send me the love which is cool and pure like your rain that blesses the thirsty earth and fills the homely³ earthen jars.

 

Send me the love that would soak down into the centre of being, and from there would spread like the unseen sap through the branching tree of life, giving birth to fruits and flowers.

 

Send me the love that keeps the heart still with the fulness of peace.
