We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. ~ T. S. Eliot

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.    ~ Dickens

Love is all there is.
Happy is the moment when we sit together
with two forms, two faces yet one soul, you and I.
The flowers will blossom forever,
the birds will sing their eternal song,
the moment we enter the garden, you and I.




“A Garden Beyond Paradise: The Mystical Poetry of Rumi”

i'm the space in which everything happens..

it's never another moment
it's always now - the space of I.

you can not leave the space of now.

All journeys have secret destinations of

which the traveler is unaware. 

-Martin Buber

anyone seeking perfection in another person will be disappointed. anyone seeking perfection in a relationship will be discontented. look to your own cultivation before judging another. having realistic expectations and desires will allow each person in the relationship to grow and thrive in a natural fashion. to say no to love is to say no to life. to close our heart to love is to cut ourselves off life. to be afraid of love is to fear our very souls' most secret desire. when you love, love fully, love majestically, love even dramatically, but always stay grounded at the same time.

Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. Peace is all around us - in the world and in nature - and within us - in our bodies and in our spirits. Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed. It is not a matter of faith; it is a matter of practice.

- Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Zen Master
