Reflections on Love
A true love relationship between a man and a woman is tender
and intimate -- to the core of their being. This tenderness is often best understood and felt in the quiet moments. Later, these moments become a refuge for the heart amidst the demands, pressures and trials of life. Not surprisingly, these same qualities are true of a relationship with God.
Reflections
I look upon you, lying quietly in my arms; you are
Slumbering peacefully, head resting against my heart;
I listen to you breathe each breath, slowly, deeply, evenly,
And all the world seems to be at rest about us.
Beyond our bed in the soft, dark blanket of the night, all is still;
Though shortly I know I will hear the gentle moving
Of the early morning wind and the whispering of the leaves,
Reminding me that the break of day will soon come.
And with the day we will rise—and do what we must
With the world about us, busy with many things;
But in the midst of the rush I will pause—and see you now,
Quietly in my arms, head resting peacefully against my heart.
- Thomas Fideler
