Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

We cannot wish for that we know not.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.

We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.

In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.
