It is time to put up a love-swing!   
Tie the body and then tie the mind so that   
they swing between the arms of the   
Secret One you love.   
Bring the water that falls from the clouds   
to your eyes.   
And cover yourself over entirely with the   
shadow of the night.   
Bring your face up close to Love's ear,   
and then talk only about what you want   
deeply to happen.   
Kabir says: "Listen to me, friend, bring the face,   
shape, and odor of the Holy One inside you."
In both marriage and the single life, the celibate moment may be experienced intensely when we discover in each other an ultimate inner solitude that only the transforming presence of God can penetrate. In celibate concern we do what we can to foster in one another's mutual transformation. We stand in awe before the unspeakable mystery of any person's brief life on earth. We choose to love and go on loving until we pass over in silence to the bliss of eternity.
