I hear a drum in my soul's ear coming from the depth of the stars.
I learned that every mortal will taste death. But only some will taste life.
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?
Through love, all pain will turn to medicine.
Once you have met a true human being, Let him not disappear from the horizon of your HEART.
What draws friends together does not conform to the laws of nature.
There is hope after despair and many suns after darkness.
Those with open hearts always have open hands.
The sun comes back every day with new and powerful secrets.
A life without LOVE isn’t a life.
Open your arms if you want the Beloved's embrace.
Love alone can explain the mysteries of Love.
With each passing moment, a Soul sets off to find Itself.
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything.
