Who loves, loves love and loving love forms a circle so complete there is no end to the love.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, (1090–1153)
A 12th-century medieval monk, theologian, and mystic
This is a modern adaptation of his famous passage on love.
“This is a living mantra for me. It’s the question I ask all the time: What does love want? How does love want me to listen? Does love want me to respond? Does love want me to be in a hurry as I go for this walk? Does love want me to keep thinking thoughts that divide me from other people? . . . And in a relationship, you have to say, what does the relationship want if it’s going to bring us into the coherence of love. So, find your relationship to love and see how it obliges you to listen, to speak, and to act. That’s what that quote says to me.”
