Be still and empty
God shall fill you
with far greater fullness
than you could ever
wish or will.
~ Angelus Sileshis, with thanks to Ruth Shrader
'Tis a fearful thing
To love
What death can touch.
To love, to hope to dream,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
Love,
But a holy thing
To love what death can touch.
