Reflections on Reflecting : Paths of Love
“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”
Thomas Merton (American and Trappist Monk Our Lady of Gethsemani Abbey in Trappist, Kentucky, 1915-1968)
Yesterday morning we were sitting in our living room, looking at our wall. The reflections seemed even more interesting than our art!
The above quotation seems so fitting, as my husband and I created this piece together to symbolize our journey before marriage. We passed the piece back and forth, painting, writing, and finally tying it all together like a package. Most of our courtship was based on love letters to one another!
