“My earliest poems sing of the absolute necessity of allowing love to invade and pervade one's life. That can make the miracle happen in reality. Try it.”

Meaning

This reads as a belief that love is not just emotion but a force that changes what becomes possible. It can be taken to mean that openness to love makes life feel larger, more permeable, and more likely to hold wonder. In a moment of guardedness, the line lands as an invitation to let feeling in and see what shifts.
