Soul Talk
Towards Perfection


When you look into each other’s eyes
look into the soul.
Pierce the veils of hesitation
with the sword of sincerity.

Drink from the chalice of love
the rich wine of affection.
May each drop enrich
your togetherness.

Draw from the reservoir
of contentment
those graces to endow
each of you with steadfastness.

Pursue a course of excellence and
when you listen – listen with patience.
For you can listen with the ear, but when
you listen with your heart
you hear the truth.

May the years ahead be rich with love,
and may every encounter be a
dress rehearsal towards perfection.
