All Who Receive Her

Love…
…can not be predicted, nor can it be made to appear. It is like a phantom one does not see until, with surprise, it is upon you. Love kneels before no one, but bends all who receive her.

From “Meditations” by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius
Accept
the things
to which fate
binds you,
and love
the people
with whom fate
brings you
together,
but do so
with all your heart.
