In practice
In a sermon discussing the nature of divine love.
Man's salvation and perfection consists of doing the will of God which he must have in view in all things, and at every moment of his life.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
If love wants you; if you've been melted down to stars, you will love with lungs and gills; with feathers and scales; with warm blood and cold.
Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it; let's do it, let's fall in love.

For her I changed pebbles into diamonds, shoes into mirrors, I changed glass into water, I gave her wings and pulled birds from her ears and in her pockets she found the feathers, I asked a pear to become a pineapple, a pineapple to become a lightbulb, a lightbulb to become the moon, and the moon to become a coin I flipped for her love.
When you're associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesn't get any better than that.
