Love is recklessness, not reason.
Reason seeks a profit.
Love comes on strong, consuming herself, unabashed.
Yet in the midst of suffering
Love proceeds like a millstone,
hard-surfaced and straight-forward.
Having died to self-interest,
she risks everything and asks for nothing.
Love gambles away every gift God bestows.
~ Rumi
