Theodore Roethke's quote speaks with the idea that love is not truly love until it is vulnerable. To be vulnerable is to be open and exposed, and this is what true love needs. Love is not just a sensation, however an action. It requires us to be willing to take threats and put ourselves out there, even if it indicates we may get hurt. When we are vulnerable, we are enabling ourselves to be seen and accepted for who we are, defects and all. We are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to the possibility of being injured, however also to the possibility of being enjoyed. Love is not love until it is vulnerable, and when we are willing to take that threat, we can experience the appeal of true love.
