This piece can be used to surprise and startle, its jagged harmonies and sudden outbursts of sound conveying something of the startling surprise of love itself.

Words
Love
Love is an infinite sea whose skies are a bubble of foam
Know that it is the waves of love that turn the wheels of heaven
Without love nothing in this world would have life.
Jalaluddin Rumi
trans. Patrick Heavey
This translation was published in the May/June 1999 issue of the journal Spirituality published in Dublin, Ireland. It is the first stanza of a longer poem.
