You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their [...]

Friday, February 20, 2009 9:26 Comments OffYou were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a [...]
