The opposite of love is possession.

Attributed to St. Francis of Assisi

A sketch I did while traveling in Assisi, Italy, in 2018. On the same page, I’d written a few words as I was sitting before the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi: “PAX. Peace of the LORD be upon you. / The winds of hope blow past your door. / The sands of joy enrobe your feet. / The sun of love warms your face and invites you to be free.”
