back in England, reading about love
Merton: The goodness of the human heart is invincible.
Wendell Berry: Love evidently is not just a feeling but is indistinguishable from the willingness to help, to be useful to one another. The way of love is indistinguishable, moreover, from the way of freedom. We don't need much imagination to imagine that to be free of hatred, of enmity, of the endless and hopeless effort to oppose violence with violence, would be to have life more abundantly.

mmmmm, I love wendell berry, one of my favorite writers. I've been kind of feeling, in the back of my head, a connection developing between love and freedom lately. I should bring that discussion up with myself and have it out in the near future.
Happy return.
I just wrote a love letter yesterday, and I thought about what you've excerpted here, and also about how tough things in life are so much easier when you have someone to stand by you. xo
