LML




Seek ye first to be and then to find
a Low Maintenance Lover:
someone who recognizes their own
broken needs for and expressions of love
as the wonderful imperfections they are;

someone who gives love,
not for reciprocation,
but for the sheer joy of catching glimpses
of how even broken-to-broken
expressions of it are capable
of calling forth the joyous
divine purposes hidden
deep within us all;

someone who often realizes
that sharing intimacy in all its
glorious manifestations is far closer
to imago dei than reproduction could ever be.
