What is it you want to change?
Your hair, your face, your body?
Why?
For God is
in love with all those things
and might weep
when they are
gone
St.
Catherine of Siena

loves alchemy
is indeed
a wondrous thing
which transforms the way
we see
the one before us
the world around us
love blinds us
shapes our thoughts
moves us
how we think and act
is determined
by love
it matters
what we love
a love of power or money
may blind us to need
and rob us of compassion
a love of people
may open our eyes to the beauty
of each person we see
to the presence of that hidden spark or
divinity
a love of people may cause us to open our hands
and our hearts
even our wallets
to help and heal
it matters what we love
someone once said
Love the Lord your God
And love your neighbor
As [and] yourself
