-"The same stream of life that runs through my veins runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measure. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the Earth into numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean cradle of birth and death in ebb and in flow. My limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life and my pride is from the life throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."....Tagore

-"The most important thing in life is to become a passionate lover. If you have been a passionate lover in life then you will be a passionate lover in death, a lover in the resurrection, a lover in Paradise, a lover forever.".…Rumi

-"When we fall in love we are ashamed of our words. Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, but love unexplained is clearer. When pen hasted to write, on reaching the subject of love it split in twain. When the discourse touched on the matter of love, pen was broken and paper torn. In explaining it, reason sticks fast, as an ass in mire. Naught but Love itself can explain love and lovers! None but the Sun can display the Sun."....Rumi

The Guest House.by Rumi
"This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the sham, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond."

The Guest House.poem by Rumi reminds us that the disasters of our lives can bring blessings, as long as we surrender and give thanks:.1Thessalonians 5:18. This being human is a guest house. My wish for you is that you're able to see the problems in your life as guides from beyond, summoning you to a consciously lived life. That you're able to surrender and give thanks for the miracle of simply being alive each moment.....Dawson Church, one of the many stars in.The Grand Self movie.

-"You who are not kept anxiously awake for love's sake, sleep on. In restless search for that river, we hurry along. You whose heart such anxiety has not disturbed, sleep on. Love's place is out beyond the many separate sects. Since you love choosing and excluding, sleep on. Love's dawn cup is our sunrise, his dusk our supper. You whose longing is for sweets and whose passion is for supper, sleep on. In search of the philosopher's stone, we are melting like copper. You whose philosopher's stone is cushion and pillow, sleep on. I have abandoned hope for my brain and head. You who wish for a clear head and fresh brain, sleep on. I have torn speech like a tattered robe and let words go. You who are still dressed in your clothes, sleep on."....Rumi.

-"Behold you were within me and I outside myself and there I searched for you."....Saint Augustine

-"Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future and time future contained in time past, If all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction remaining a perpetual possibility only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has is pointed to one end which is always present.".…T.S. Eliot.

"Footfalls (footsteps) echo in the memory down the passage which we did not take towards the door we never opened into the rose garden.".…T.S. Eliot.

"Don't stand by my grave and weep, for I'm not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamonds glint in snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain, In the soft hush of the morning light, I am the swift bird in flight, Don't stand by my grave and cry, I'm not there, I did not die."....unknown American Native author, from Deepak Chopra's works

-"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'who in the world am I'? Ah, that's the great puzzle!.".…said the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland

-"If it's here, then it's everywhere. If it's not here, then it's nowhere.".…Vashti

-"Living daily with the plight, the weight and the burden; living daily with the night, the darkness. Wondering and hoping for light, you look within. Living daily now the sky unfolds. Now we see it. Now we can embrace the Sun. The warmth baths us in newness. Where is the darkness gone? Now held in the gentle arms of love, secure, confident and happy, you wonder why the darkness at all. Was it only a contrast? Was it just passing by? Did it leave a message? Was the message the contrast? Now we are lifted up! In light are there failures, sorrows and fears? Only at night does light request to be bright. Bright is life, bright is love. Love is wholeness, embracing the night. See the darkness only as a shadow in the light.".…Unknown

-"Lovers share the unity they have found so deeply that there is no separation of them, no he, no she, just one life beating as an illusion of two, yet underneath the other's breath becomes your breath, the other's heart becomes your heart, the other's body is your body, the other's mind is now one mind, the other's love is just one.".…Anonymous

-"Trapped in the river of life that flows deep, onward we travel mostly asleep. At a pace that keeps us in the same current, unable to move, no ability to be absent. Is it the pace my friend or is it the space my friend that entraps us seemingly to no end? Whenever does life send, a different current, a different end? Perhaps there isn't as some have said, anything new after we're dead. If that be so, then why is now, if not to learn just how. Above the heights some soar, looking back at those who knew no more. The river flows, the sun comes up, with purpose to fill an empty cup. Why so busy? Why so sad? The end is near for those not glad. The river flows to the ocean, returning again with another notion. A stagnant pool or mighty waterfall? Who could have known the river's end, was only to come somewhere else again?"....Anonymous

-"Memories of the past lurk round about, waiting for opportunity to use their clout. But I am from them now, living in the present. Far away from things most unpleasant. Recollections that were sad, swallowed up with some fad, absorbed by things bad, unable to be glad. Was that me, out of the sun and into darkness of more daily runs? No, it was earlier memories of things undone, fighting for yet another place in the sun. But darkness can’t live in the light and day can’t live in the night. Searching for light I followed the day and the darkness, only discovering that to me both were night. A forever being trapped within, unable to follow where my reach had been. Light faded quickly as fickly memories slid in stealing the present. Constantly wondering what I am able, led me away to a brighter fable. Here was the light. Here was the mender. Here was the life that ever hearkened. Here was the night that never darkened."....Anonymous

-"Thinkin' 'bout yah is like thinkin' 'bout sun & clouds. Spun from the sun, visiting awhile, dissipating to form afresh. Could the sun be you without clouds that vanish in style? Constant movement reveals sun's stand, relying on us to see what's at hand. Now, with brightness shining over the land, it's easier to see we are all God's plan."....Anonymous

-"Lovers without face merged in their souls, discover a land where there is no disgrace. Feverishly bonded, they flirt evermore, in this land of their own ten million miles from any shore.".…Anonymous

-"Waking up to the freedom of no choices is waking up to freedom gained.".…Anonymous

-"The timeless in you, the present awareness beyond today's memory of yesterday and today's dream of tomorrow, flirts with its feelings of delight, ready to expose its deeper life's purpose, looking for a heart to complete its circuit of love. Anxiously anticipating the expression of the love it knows it is, it joyfully pounces about seeking a safe harbor to be anchored in rest with a soul it can both express and share its extraction from the circle of time.".…Anonymous

-"If you can forever find a place in someone's heart you've done well in life.".…Anonymous

-"Unlike prisoners of time awaiting release, prisoners of love seek none. Meeting in a place beyond time and space, living love content with its pace. The sight of the back leading view to the face and the hearts of lovers beat in endless embrace. The mirror of life secluded in darkness awaits lovers light, for lovers beyond time, lovers without day, lovers outside of night, remain constant within their own delights.".…Anonymous 

-"When I look outside, there is no me. When I look inside, love is all I see. When I look inside, here's what I want to be! When I look inside I set myself free. When I look outside, this is not me, it's an image following me. What am I to be? the outside or the inside that's a stranger to me. On the outside love fails. Inside of love my soul sails."....Anonymous
