Falling in Love

Marc Chagall "Windows"

Nothing is more practical than
finding God, that is, than
falling in love
in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination,
will affect everything.
It will decide
what will get you out of bed
in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends,
what you read, who you know,
what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you with
joy and gratitude.
Fall in love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.

~ By Pedro Arrupe (1907-1991), a Basque priest, who was living near Hiroshima in 1945 and led a team to take care of sick and dying.
