2 In a desire for growth, my brother. Whatever is done, may it lend towards growth. Reestablish lasting roots: for though the weeds are little, they grow to destroy.
3 In understanding: do not forget to seek understanding. For though to be understood is a gift, to understand is riches; and better yet is to sit silently in understanding is a treasured reward.
4 In patience and courage, foremost--first in the mind, then in the heart. Give time and patience your will, for it is courageous to trust, courageous to be vulnerable. But mind your poor heart.
5 In separateness, find unity. In strength and do not weary. In hope and in selflessness, seek to restore. Dislocation is not eternal.
6 In love, seek to sell your rights.
And now the matter at hand. Howbeit love, a mysterious element. Seek it in wisdom, for fruit eaten in secret may be sweet, but a desire fulfilled in protection is sweeter. Have patience and be courageous, for something worth your dignity is worth your life. [And the foolishness of lovers have abandoned dignity long before now. ]
In love do not seek to be sought, there is a garden yet to be found. Unity will find love when it so desires. And so, my brother and friend, while waiting, have strength and do not grow weary; in hope and in love sell your rights. For love owes nothing, yet gives all.
