VI The Lovers

(Pearls from Hermes)

Realizing attraction,

fulfilling romance,

achieving harmony,

Love takes optimism.

“ She seizes him and kisses him,

and with impudence she says,

‘I had to make sacrifices,

today, I have made my vows.’ ” [1]

The body cannot go

without nutrition

The mind cannot

go without stimulation

But, the spiritual effect

of love restores all being –

the soul absorbs grace

and rests in divine communion.

Chastity practices

poverty and obedience,

Being one with God’s will

provides confidence.

“Ask, and it will be given;

seek, and you will find;

for everyone who asks, receives,

and those who seek, find.” [2]


[1] Proverbs 7: 13-14

[2] Matthew 7: 7-8

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
