Nothing Has the Power

I remember…
…how we hugged, kissed and exchanged “I love you’s” whenever we parted.

Voltaire to a Lover (date unknown)
If you love me, reassure yourself; and call all your strength and presence of mind to your aid… and be assured that the menace of the greatest tortures will not prevent me… No, nothing has the power to part me from you; our love is based upon virtue, and will last as long as our lives..

Love… Directs Your Course

I remember…
…you were the first woman I was ever at ease with doing most of the driving when we were out.  I trusted you… 

“Love” by Kahlil Gibran (from “The Prophet”)
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.
