"We meet God in our love for that which is not"

by megehoffman

What draws me in, to this? Is it love, or something twisted— Said a mother to her daughter It's so hard to tell the difference                             But please;                                      I need to know the difference " I didn't understand then And I won't pretend to know much more now; All I can do is try to not be angry                                                        And at that, I'll fail.                                                                    But I'll learn " I used to believe in the world, with an innocent infatuation for its goodness Now I believe, with a knowing compassion for its faults ... I think things that are perfect are easy to love;          We meet God in our love for that which is not
