Love is the way messengers from the mystery tell us things
You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Love is an emotion. Totally silent and inexpressible with words.
Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance
You knock at the door of Reality. You shake your thought wings, loosen your shoulders, and open.
A woman is a mystery to guide a wise and open man.
Live in the opening where there is no door to hide behind.
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, be all...
Deep in the HEART every mystery of spirit is hidden.
Love, the life-giving garden of this world.
Last night I learned how to be a lover of God. To live in this world and call nothing my own.
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
