There is no place where life is more real
than the moment in which we live
and the place in which we stand.
No reflection, in word or song,
no matter how passionately done,
can equal this immediate life we live.
There in the hands and the eyes
of someone loved
is more, with every emotion given
and care taken,
than a hundred books could ever record.
The love we give is all there is.
