love multiplied

"Then I remember--love, not cramped in where it goes,
May be reversed, enlarged by love's complicity,
Its give and take. The sumptuous fragrance of a rose
Accepts no close confinement or captivity.
The tide that outward ebbs, turns then and inward flows.
And what I offer you, you'll multiply to me."
by poet Luci Shaw, from The Returns of Love after George Herbert

  3. Lovely poem! And I sure wish I had that foldable ruler that I once did. Can't imagine what happened to it. Love the star!
    And boy I would have liked to see the ironing demo on doing it half the time. I iron all of Greg's clothes for work!
    Hope this finds you well.

  4. How beautiful, and how true. It is what we told our children and now tell our grandchildren - the more love you have and the more people you have to love, the more love you will have.
