"You were made perfectly to be loved - and surely I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long."
//Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Frankly, I don't know why and I don't know if I will ever know why. But I think of Bob Sorge and the intensity of his journey to arrive at the secret place and I marvel at how easily we acknowledge that his love is like fire and forget that fire burns, consumes, depletes and destroys before it cauterises, treats and heals.
If love like fire brings me to the secret place, then consume all of me and leave nothing behind.
