Whoever has Heart's doors wide open, could see the Sun itself in every atom.
What is the heart? It is not human and it is not imaginary. I call it you.
This is not a day for asking questions, not a day on any calendar. This day is conscious of itself. This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness, more manifest than saying can say.
The Inspiration You Seek Is Already Within You. Be Silent And Listen.
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.
