A Thought for Today

Love is such an unusual and complete gift no one can write a proper thank you note for receiving it or praise it enough for what it really is.

FROM the¨BOOKS

CONSCIENCE

The world holds dangers
darker than the dentist’s chair
love is still the eye
of anything worthwhile
                    or worth having
and so we keep that one eye open.

And knowing that it goes by
multitudes of attitudes and names
it’s wise to learn and not forget
the favorite name for love is conscience.

Conscience being the first thing
Christ conceived for us
must mean love is Christmas
by another name.

-from “The Carols of Christmas,” 1971
