And Ruth said.
Urge me not to leave you
or to turn back from following you;
for where you go
I will go,
and where you lodge
I will lodge.
Your people shall be my people
and your
God my God.
Where you die I will die,
and there I will be buried.
The Lord
do so to me,
and more also.
If
anything
but death parts me
from
You.

~Ruth's address to Naomi has been a favourite reading of mine, since I was a young child. What first drew me to it, is its
ReplyDeletepoetic nature. As I grew older, it became equally favoured, and shared, between my Mother, my sister Sharon, and myself. Whatever your beliefs and/or understanding of the scriptures, this is a beautiful reading, regarding a geniune love that endures to the grave, and beyond. Yet, it is one that begins with the living, on this earth. Where else could such a revered and timeless love begin, other than in the Heavens...It is truly a Masterpiece.
