Unselfish Love

A short bio about Shakespeare with a triple haiku about healing love

“Our bodies are our garden to which our wills are gardeners.”

– William Shakespeare

Did you know that Shakespeare died on his birthday?

According to records he died April 23, 1616; it was his 52nd birthday. Would you love differently if you knew you were going to die on your next birthday? I’m sure you would.

William Shakespeare was exceedingly fruitful. During his life, he wrote several poems. It’s estimated that Shakespeare wrote as many as 154 sonnets and at least 37 plays. He started writing in 1589, which means he wrote 1.5 plays a year.

Isn’t that motivating? As productive as he was, he still found time for love. Finding a balanced love is healthy.

Famous line by Shakespeare:

‘My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. (Romeo and Juliet – Act 2, Scene 1)

I’ve written a triple haiku because a sonnet is way beyond me:

Unselfish Love Season of self-love relating to narcissist yet longs for romance

Seemingly hurtful always eradicating intensified times

But shalt deny love changing ways of selfishness love runneth deeply

We sometimes need to change our perspective, engaging attentiveness, and love differently in various seasons of life. So, when love becomes selflessly giving, our love will give and become forgiving. Embrace your loved ones, your health, and always hope for the best.
