description: All the passion and romance and pain of love unfold in this exquisite work. "Love grew like some mystic fire mound my heart." Perhaps the greatest beauty of this book is its balance in the power of physical, motional, and unconditional spiritual love. Hundreds have asked permission to use these poems for their weddings. "Perhaps," says Kavanaugh, "life’s only tragedy is never to know a pure and unconditional love. To give such is finally to be alive, to receive such is to be as gods ... Erotic love is a much ignored sacrament and a unique contact with god."
