• Being in love

  "Being in love is a very moving experience.  It is like a river that over the years has rushing currents, crashing waterfalls, deep peaceful flows, eddies that swirl with scum, windblown backward drifts, surface heavings from boulders beneath, and long clean stretches of open water."

  -- (John Piper, from the introduction to Velvet Steel, the book of poems written to his wife over 40 years, compiled and published recently)

   

  Well said, John.
