My Favorite Poem...

                                                      Love Does That
All day long a little burro labors. Sometimes with heavy loads on her back, and sometimes just with worries about things that bother only burros; And worries, as we know, can be more exhausting than physical labor.
Once in a while a kind monk comes to her stable and brings her a pear, but more than that, he looks into the burros eyes and touches her ears, and for a few seconds the burro is free and even seems to laugh; because love does that.
                                ~ Meister Eckhart
