You might love someone in spite of their faults
and then over time because
of their faults.
Attracted to them by an impression of courage
and later love them for their anxieties,
a lonely battle waged through sheer desperation.
You might pierce the facade to view a soul
who’s been given lifelong impediments,
worrisome tasks and such a piercing
might bring about love all the greater.
And someday, you might take another look
at yourself from an oddly pertinent perspective
and a new love just might bloom –
an acceptance and an understanding,
a surrender too deep for thought to explain.
O child of God, the most practical way to love God,
Meher Baba said, is to love our fellow beings.
