Episode 9 Reflections Set 1

I fell in love. It felt exactly like a fall, a head-over-heels tumble into a state of unbearable lightness. The earth tilted on its axis. I did not believe in romantic love at the time, thinking it a human construct, an invention of fourteenth century Italian poets. I was as unprepared for love as I had been for goodness and beauty. Suddenly, my heart seemed swollen, too large for my chest.
-Philip Yancey-
We fall in love and everything about us changes. The beloved makes his wishes known through dreams, dreams that bring harrowing challenges, appalling ultimatums, bone-chilling warnings and prophesies. To fall in love is to wreak havoc.
