Love

“Let us fall in love again
And scatter gold dust all over the world.
Let us become a new spring
And feel the breezes drift in the heaven’s scent.
Let us dress the earth in green.
And like the sap of a young tree,
Let the grace from within sustain us.
Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts
And let them light our path of Love.
The glance of love is crystal clear
And we are blessed by its light.” 


Rumi




“The subject tonight is Love
And for tomorrow night as well.
As a matter of fact,
I know of no better topic
for us to discuss
Until we all die!"


Hafiz

“In this choiceless, never ending flow of life
There is an infinite array of choices.
One alone brings happiness -
To love what is.” 

Dorothy Hunt
 
 
 

“Love is the whole thing.
We are only pieces.” 
 
Rumi
 
 
 
"There is silence everywhere,
you just have to listen for it.
I am surrounded by love,
I just have to stop looking for it.
Trust opens both,
If I let it."

Opening to Life

     "A human being is part of the whole called by us 'universe',
a part limited in time and space.
We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein


     "The small man builds cages for everyone he knows. While the sage keeps dropping keys all night long for the beautiful, rowdy prisoners." Hafiz
