   Love this. It put me in mind of one of my favorite sonnets by John Donne…

   “Batter my heart, three-person’d God; for you
   As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
   That I may rise, and stand, o’erthrow me and bend
   Your force, to break, blow, burn and make me new.
   I, like an usurpt town, to another due,
   Labour to admit you, but Oh, to no end,
   Reason your viceroy in me, me should defend,
   But is captiv’d, and proves weak or untrue.
   Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,
   But am betroth’d unto your enemy:
   Divorce me, untie, or break that knot again,
   Take me to you, imprison me, for I
   Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
   Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.”

   Haha thought that was the case! Missed it camping but I survived. I’m actually quite amazed that it even got to you and so I’m not complaining lol. Thanks for sharing that Laura; what a beautiful poem!
