and on love

and this may not be the month of love, necessarily, but then - is any month not the month of love? :) i love this little treasure of tagore's. this is the ideal of love i seek to attain in every shade of this life.
By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world.
But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs,
and thou keepest me free.
Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone.
But day passes by after day and thou art not seen.
If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart,
thy love for me still waits for my love.

So true -- Thy love, God's love, is always there for us, but we must open our heart to receiving it.
