“That We May Learn To Bear The Beams of Love” – William Blake
Poet William Blake once wrote: “And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love.” It may initially seem like an odd concept but trust me it rings true when you miss the folks you love. You see, last weekend I got the...
