@CarlMcColman 3/ Then again, analysis so often makes love out to be a long, awkward slog, doesn't it? I'm not so sure love itself cares for distinctions. Rumi: "I would love to kiss you. When soul rises into lips, you feel the kiss you've always wanted." What of the holiness of a wedding kiss?

Like a lover, your life bends down and kisses your life.  It does this not in forgiveness— between you, there is nothing to forgive— but with the simple nod of a baker at the moment he sees the bread is finished with transformation.  - Jane Hirshfield.
