Love's constancy
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Anyone who has waded
Through Love's turbulent waters, Now feeling hunger and now satiety, Is untouched by the season Of withering or blooming, For in the deepest and most dangerous waters, On the highest peaks, Love is always the same.

I rather like this poem by Hadewijch. In a few short lines it suggests the nondualist perspective that the Divine, in the form of Love, is eternally the same, no matter what extremes are experienced on the surface of reality.
