I carry your heart

smoochThere's nothing like being in the presence of  two people who are deeply, truly, honestly in love to open your own heart.There is nothing like being in the presence of two people who manage to be both dizzyingly in love and clear-eyed about it, whose passion is fueled by compassion, to open your own heart, to bring you back to what you've not so much forgotten but have learned to take for granted.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
