“We tend to look for captivity because we are used to seeing freedom as something that has no limits or responsibility. And for that reason we end up trying to enslave everything we love – as if egoism were the only way to keep our world in balance. Love places no limits; it widens our horizons, we can see clearly what is outside and we can see even more clearly the dark places in our heart."
-Abbot Dr. Burkhard Ellegast, OSB, in reply to a piece written by Paulo Coelho
I seriously have got to learn this about love.
And also remember it.
