Love alone is the most potent power illuminating the breath's journey in between these thresholds. Love is the key. Love is the dance.

It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity.

It stands by itself and excites admiration in others.
