day 188


He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the greatest and first commandment.  And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39

unfortunately 
(all too often)
we go with the
variant readings of
loving ourselves before
our neighbors, and
loving you with a
sliver of our hearts,
a horcrux of our souls,
and whenever we
think about you, which
is often just a fleeting
moment
