358/499 … the Love that does (10/23/08)

“Love allWays engages the moment’s most courageous act. Thereafter, if that act inadvertently happens to cause pain, Love engages the deed most gentle instead.” ~ from my Camino journal

Note: Since writing this entry, I’m pretty sure that this wisdom needs to be reversed; that Love first engages the most gentle (yet still courageous) alternative, and then when pain does NOT ensue, more & more courageous ones thereafter.
