Inside her soul, a fire ignites, a flame that flickers with the promise of annihilation and rebirth. It is the fifth manner of love, a passion so unbridled, so untamed, that it shatters the fragile vessel of the self. Like a tempest, it ravages the heart, leaving in its wake a trail of longing, of yearning, of unutterable desire. And yet, in this maelstrom of emotion, lies a paradoxical serenity, a stillness that is the essence of God.
It is here, in this crucible of love,
that the boundaries of the self are transcended,
and the soul is united with the infinite.
