And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. ⠀⠀
Love has no other desire but to fulfil 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.
