On April Fool's Day, don't be fooled again, everyone you meet today is an anxious lover.
For the next 52 weeks, we will take one line each morning to remind ourselves that we are all anxious lovers. Our mediatation today is to read the entire poem below and focus on the line in
red.

Love Can Never Be Tamed!

Anxiety is the inevitable path to Love
Desire is Love's paradoxical motivator
Pain is Love's strange teacher
Pleasure its most seductive attraction
Foolishness is Love's humorous trademark
Awareness is Love's catalyst
Mystery is Love's eternal ally
Addiction is Love's dark reflection
Security is Love's habitual trap
Unconditionality and freedom its true nature
Failure its most frequent opportunity
Self-protective control its most recurrent impasse

Imagination and inspiration are Love's creative power
Responsibility is Love's daily muscle
Friendship is Love's mutuality
Romance is Love's tender embrace
Sex is Love's passionate body
Kindness is Love's most trusted face
Forgiveness is Love's eraser of error
Peace is Love's ocean depth
Freedom is Love's guarantee

Music is Love's vital dance
Science is Love's uncanny arithmetic
Art expresses Love's beauty
Nature is Love's awesome clothing
Health is Love's flow through mind and body
Money is the social coinage of Love’s energy
Silence is Love's perpetual resting place

Grief is Love believed lost
Guilt is Love forsaken
Jealousy is Love mistrusted
Fear is Love forgotten
Hostility is Love hurt and frustrated
Cynicism is Love gone sour
Illness is Love calling
Grace is Love given away

The heart is Love's soft throne
Human language her perplexing speech
Healing is Love's first priority
Reunion her ingenious plan
On time's edge where Love's infinity happens
Performing its curious alchemy
Betrayal's wounds may seem to be our only companion
But disillusionment is Love's necessary process
And limbo our cocoon for Love's rebirth.
Although fear may appear to haunt us on every corner,
Only Love is real.

Love's patient watchfulness nurtures us
Coincidences mark Love's miraculous presence
Moving us toward its inevitable goal of transformation.
Embrace the ironies of Love, for it is our
Source and Destiny, requiring everything of us.
Love can never be tamed!

Carroll J. Wright, Ph.D

Anxiety is the inevitable path to love

Anxiety is where we seem to be, but love is who we are!
