Kindling and igniting

Ann Voskamp is feeling the love today. Love for this man.

Your whole life has spoken this to me, again, every time when it comes again, everything hard and tight.

There are no standing lovers: the only way to love is to lay down.

Lay down plans.

Lay down agendas.

Lay down self.

Love is always the laying down.

Love lets go of its plans — to hold on to a person.

Marriage is two people who keep kindling and igniting in a thousand little ways, grace sparks flying high and everywhere.
