More Love, More Love - Rosemerrry Wahtola Trommer

More Love, More Love
 
Sorrow is how we learn to love.
—Rita Mae Brown, Riding Shotgun
 
 
If sorrow is how we learn to love, 
then let us learn. 
Already enough sorrow’s been sown 
for whole continents to erupt 
into astonishing tenderness. 
Let us learn. Let compassion grow rampant, 
like sunflowers along the highway. 
Let each act of kindness replant itself 
into acres and acres of widespread devotion.
Let us choose love as if our lives depend on it. 
The sorrow is great. Let us learn to love greater— 
riotous love, expansive love, 
love so rooted, so common 
we almost forget 
the world could look any other way.
