This Love is Effortless

Dear Clare, each day spent in thought
of you reveals more of me! What I
love about you is what I love about me.
What I seek in you — solace and beauty
and joy and bliss — I seek in myself,
I seek in everyone I meet. And you,
so gracefully willing to open, to share
all that is good and kind with me, with
the world, through your prayers and
deeds. Your quiet words, your contemplative
eyes, your strong hands, help shape and
form my every mood and belief, so that
I am more pleasing, more filled with
love and kindness than ever before.
This love is effortless!
