In the silence of LOVE you will find the Spark of LIFE.
Lots of ways to reach God, I chose love.
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
The rule that covers everything is: how you are with others, expect that back.
Friend, our closeness is this: anywhere you put your foot, feel me in the firmness under you.
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
Speak any language, Turkish, Greek, Persian, Arabic, but always speak with love
LOVE will lay a carpet of treasures under your feet.
I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow; I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.
There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.
Oh god Let all lovers be content Give them happy endings Let their lives be celebrations Let their hearts dance in the fire of your love
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.
