Human love and desire, including sexual desire (if we consider the long tradition of metaphorical and allegorical readings of the Song of Songs), always points beyond itself. The drama of loving and being loved, desiring and being desired, is an echo and foretaste of the deeper drama in which our hearts find their deepest home in communion with God, the fountain and source of all love, who himself is love (1 John 4:8)
