Happy Aniversary James


James and Domino on a lazy Sunday, back when she was a wee bunny


A Passion Not Tamed By Words
The Couple's Tao Te Ching


Spinning words together to create vows
will not unite two souls.
Pouring over words in marriage manuals
will not pour spirit into a relationship.
Words may speak of love
but they will not create it.

The union of one soul with another
is born of a passion that must not be tamed by
words.
Let your words be tools of this passion,
not barriers to it.

Words emerging from love's furnace
will be few but powerful.
A few words of understanding
may heal a wounded heart.
A few words of wisdom
may comfort a loney soul.
A few words of sensuous longing
may kindle love's embraces

☷

If you could speak but fifty words
each day to your beloved,
only that and no more,
what would be your words today?
