Loving With All . . .

Thou shalt . . .

well - of course

but

how . . .

How to love

     with all my

     heart, soul, mind, strength

     when I can barely get them

     all in the same room at the same time

Each drawn to their

     own loves

               lusts

                    longings

     leaving integration

     to . . .

          whoever is left.

Wholeness beckons

     oh to be one

     the longing is

     all but

     unbearable

          to see

          to feel

          what might  be

     and to not know the

          way home.

And yet there

     in the longing

     is the answer . . .

Love God with

     all your heart

     all your soul

     all your mind

     all your strength

Love for God will be the

     force of integration

Love for God will

     draw me to Him

     to myself

     to you

          and finally

               home.
