There are no standing lovers

There are no standing lovers: the only way to love is to lay down.

Lay down plans.

Lay down agendas.

Lay down self.

Love is always the laying down.

...

Love lets go of its plans — to hold on to a person.

“It is not your love that sustains the marriage —
 but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.”

--Deitrich Bonhoeffer
