I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.
If you love someone, you are always joined with them--in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Death has nothing to do with going away.The sun sets The moon sets But they are not gone.
The whole business of love is to drown in the sea.
Don't be fooled by my beauty - the light of my face comes from the candle of my spirit.
The message behind the words is the voice of the heart.
Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown.

Live in the nowhere that you come from even though you have got an address Here.
If you only say one prayer in a day make it Thank You.
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there; seek inside.
