Love

September 30, 2005

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, 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 he 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 unto himself.

He threshes you to make you naked.

He sifts you to free you from your 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 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 Life’s heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,

Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,

Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses 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 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.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

–excerpt from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet

Shoes in Air Max LTD Shoes series have become known for their durability, due in part to the company’s Air Sole technology. Air Sole works with innovative Air Max Shoes cushioning to allow wearers to go from a casual walk to a flat-out sprint without having to worry about their shoe’s performance. A durable leather upper and rubber Air Max 2011 help the LTD 2 perform in any situation.Nike Air Jordan 1 is not merely the exceptional features of shoes products, but in add-on a social symbol.

New Era Caps latest marketing endeavours have been positioned towards enabling YOU to be YOU by introducing the fly your own flag campaign ED Hardy Caps, and they weren’t joking. Here is the official legit scoop on what’s to be expected with the 59 fifty Caps BY YOU initiative! You can expect to place your first custom order approximately mid-November.The process from point of order will take approximately 45 days because of how new it is, however in reality should take less time. When you customize your piece you will be able to utilize MLB Cap, Cooperstown and New Era logos as well as more than 60 fabric color choices and thread choices which enables a whole new world of possibilities with literally millions of color combination’s D&G Caps!!In many years, that vision has come through. But — Yankees and Red Sox fans, don’t hate me — I grow weary of the same teams returning to the playoffs DC Caps year after year after year. The seemingly endless run of playoff appearances by the Atlanta Braves is a good example. They hoarded playoff appearances, although I must admit my judgment carries the bitter tinge from their only Series victory in recent memory, in 1995 over the Cleveland Indians.Then there was the ’97 series, in which the NL wild card team – the Florida Marlins – defeated the Tribe in the series. Where’s the justice in that?

Shopping is no longer the boys the most painful thing. Because you can Mulberry sale, reducing the time to go shopping Mulberry Alexa Bags with his girlfriend also received his girlfriend, is really convenient.

All authentic British purchase. Just pick your girlfriend like that the goods can be. British Burberry Bag brand new spring bag can be found. The Burberry brand was settled in southeast England in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, a 21 years old drapers assistant. However, if they are using it on a day to day basis then you need to choose a Burberry Mens Bags that is durable. You know, of course, if you use a pair of Burberry sunglasses. After that, select the handbag in a specific range; do not confuse yourself with Burberry Scarf if you need a casual one. A scarf may well be good winter clothing.Every season, waiting for the Louis Vuitton show is torturous. It comes at the very end of Paris Fashion Week, which is the last city of the season, and its arrival taunts LV Monogram Handbags lovers for a full month. Unlike some designers whose brands make a great deal of money from accessories but you largely eschew the use of bags on the runway.And befitting off all the anticipation, the Louis Vuitton EPI Leather from Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 are particularly lovely.In my experience, most people other adore Coach Poppy Collection or they hate them, there’s not much of an in-between. And that’s true of most lines that really go for it when it comes to having a point of view – the more personality a Coach Shoulder Bags has, the wider the gulf between the lovers and the haters becomes.
