The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
they’re in each other all along.

No one worth possessing can be quite possessed.
                                              Sara Teasdale

The thing you are ripening toward is the fruit of your life. It will make you bright inside, no matter what you are outside. It is a shining thing.

Stewart Edward White

O seekers, remember, all distances are traversed by those who yearn to be near the source of their being.

Kabir

Everything is full and pure at its source and precisely there, not outside.

Meister Eckhart

…No other light, no guide

except for my heart—

the fire, the fire inside!

St. John of the Cross

Love until it hurts.

Mother Theresa

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it ís cracked up to be. That is why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.

Give all to love; obey thy heart.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

This giving up is not a repenting.
It’s a deep honoring of yourself.

Rumi

For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.

We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love.
