“Two Trees
A portion of your soul has been
Entwined with mine
A gentle kind of togetherness, while
Separately we stand.
As two trees deeply rooted in
Separate plots of ground,
While their topmost branches
Come together,
Forming a miracle of lace
Against the heavens.”
-Janet Miles
What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life to strength each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow. Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it be rather a moving sea between the shores of your souls. There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
