Simple Joy by Piya Tan

Love is
To love life is to love the most valuable thing there is:
love not just your body, but more so your heart,
for, your body may not listen to you,
but your heart will if you try hard enough.

You cannot love just a part of a person,
for, then you will miss all the rest:
to love the whole person is never to miss them,
for, they are always with you in your heart.

Love is a spacious silence,
without which there is no music,
the healing stillness between breaths
that you feel only in letting go.
