When all your desires are distilled you will cast just two votes:
To love more, and be happy. - Hafiz

Love calls on parts of you that cannot speak, and reveals our most tender places.

One word frees us from the weight and pain of life; that word is love. - Sophocles  

Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love.
Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.

Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it.
Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.
You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song.

There is nothing that does not matter. 
The faintest breeze changes the course of the world. 
The softest cry is heard by all.  The greatest love is you and it is me.

We’re not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past,
but by the love we’re not extending in the present.
- Marianne Williamson

Feel the love of God; then in every person you will see the face of the Father,
the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things; and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love. - Paramahansa Yogananda

(much of the poetry below is from the exquisite words of Rumi)

There is no remedy for love, but to love more.

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen.

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

Every object, every being, is a jar full of delight. Be a connoisseur.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating
of a loving heart. - Henry Ward Beecher

Let your teacher be love itself.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared
to what lies within us.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must
carry it with us or we find it not.

Let your love flow outward through the universe, to its height, its
depth, its broad extent, a limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Sutta Nipata

Think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it
finds you worthy, directs your course. ~ Kahlil Gibran

Honour the ocean of Love.

There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then there’s another way:
a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity. - Rumi

I add my breath to your breath... that we may be commited to our own
and each other's growing. That we may finish our roads together.

As the sun illuminates the moon and the stars, so let us illuminate each other.
~ Master Lui

Allow my Light to fill the oceans of your heart with Love...

Come to me and share your secrets,
for they are safe with me

Come to me and dream anew
of things you never thought you'd see

Come and speak, and I will listen
to your heart beat faster now

Come and taste my passion glisten
and we'll live for the here and now...

Come, we'll breathe... in painted scenes
entwined inside endless embrace

Come, we'll find out what love means:
together... this, our sacred place.
- Jeff Mason

Love is a river. Drink from it.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides
the meaning of life and art.  It is the color of love. - Marc Chagall


You are not here to love the world.  You are here to be love in the world.
- Grace Johnston

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go
to the making of genius. Love, Love, Love, that is the soul of genius.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Music fills the infinite between two souls.

There is a desert I long to be walking. A wide emptiness, peace beyond
any understanding of it.

From the hundreds of times I lost the connection, I learn this:
Your fragrance brings me back.

Hold tenderly that which you cherish.

 Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so
that it touches not only those to whom you can give it easily,
but also those who need it so much. - Daphine Rose Kingma

No matter what the question, Love is the answer. No matter what the pain or illness, Love is the answer. No matter what the loss, Love is the answer.
No matter what the fear, Love is the answer.
Gerald Jampolsky & Diane Cirincione

Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone
I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path.
Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.  
- Paramahansa Yogananda

Above all, I was shown that love is supreme. I saw that truly without love
we are nothing. We are here to help each other, to care for each other, to understand, forgive, and serve one another. We are here to have love for
every person born on earth. - Betty Eadie

When you act from fear you will have to return to your choice point and choose once again, this time from love.

If you feel bottled up, depressed, or self-involved, find someone to love. 
Love and limits cannot live in the same heart.    


If you can’t smell the fragrance
Don’t come into the garden of Love.
If you’re unwilling to undress
Don’t enter into the stream of Truth.
Stay where you are. Don’t come our way.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.

A lover knows only humility, he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret, he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of 
his imprisonment, he has no choice. 

Let there be few spaces in our togetherness and let the
winds of the heavens dance between us.
Love one another but make not a burdon of love: let it rather be a
moving sea between the shores of our souls. - Kahlil Gibran

...because two bodies, naked and entwined,
leap over time, they are invulnerable,
nothing can touch them, they return to the source.
There is no you, no I, no tomorrow,
no yesterday, no names, the truth of two
in a single body, a single soul,
oh total being...
- Tagore

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us. We taste only sacredness.

You come to us from another world,
from beyond the stars and the void of space.
Transcendent, pure, of unimaginable beauty.
Bringing with you the essence of love.
You transform all who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns, troubles and sorrows dissolve in your presence,
bringing joy to ruler and ruled, to peasant and King.


I cannot sleep in your presence.
In your absence, tears prevent me.
You watch me My Beloved
On each sleepless night and
Only You see the difference.

I see your face in the flowers, hear your voice in the trees,
feel your touch in the wind; you stir my desires; excite my senses;
arouse my longings; inspire my dreams;
I tremble in awe of you! I crave your warm embrace;
listen for you in the midnight hour; I hear you calling out to me;
I feel you breathing softly upon my neck;
touching my need, commanding new life within me;
giving divine release; making me free "to be";
I'm naught without you; I'm ALL with you;
I stand in your presence; kneel at your feet; you are ALL!
My consuming quest! My life's destiny!
My soul's completeness!
Come, and stay in my heart forever!

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I will meet you there.

You are a song, a wished for song. Move to the center,
towards the sky and wind, towards silent knowing.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.    - Aristotle

Do you want to enter paradise?
To walk the path of Truth you need the grace of God.
We all face death in the end.
But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!

Then you are here, in loving communion with your SoulMate.
You can look into his eyes and see Me.
You can look into her heart and see yourself, and you can join together in reverent, sacred union. Listen!


When you make Love with your beautiful SoulMate and you touch his or her body in total praise for life, each and every cell within that body recognizes itself as Love. When that recognition occurs, every cell will open and your loving adoration will then reach their very atoms.

Do you know what the music is saying?
“Come follow me and you will find the way.
Your mistakes can also lead you to the Truth.
When you ask, the answer will be given.”


Do you know what love is?
It is all kindness, generosity.
Disharmony prevails when
You confuse lust with love, while
The distance between the two is endless.

Love is Accepting...
Acceptance is labeling someone as "okay" and having no particular desire to change them.
Who they are is perfectly fine with you. You pose no condition on whether you will love them or not. This is unconditional love.

Love is Appreciating...
Appreciation is one step beyond acceptance. It's when your focus is on what you like about another.
We look at them and feel this sweeping appreciation for who they are, their joy, their insights, their humour, their companionship, etc.
When someone says they are "in love" with another, they mean their appreciation is so enormous
for this person that it consumes their every thought.

Love is wanting another to feel good...

Love asks not for analysis, only appreciation.

The sky was lit by the splendor of the moon,
so powerful I fell to the ground.
Your love has made me sure
 I am ready to forsake this worldly life
and surrender to the magnificence of your being.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Love so vast, Love the sky cannot contain!
How does all this fit within my heart?

I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes, they are small
but they see enormous things.

Look at me and hear me, 

because I am here...

just for that!

My heart is burning with love. All can see this flame.
My heart is pulsing with passion, like waves on an ocean.
My friends have become strangers and I'm surrounded by enemies.
But I'm free as the wind, no longer hurt by those who approach me.
I'm at home, wherever I am.  And in the room of lovers I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances.  Behind the veils intoxicated with love, I too dance the rhythm  of this moving world.  I have lost my senses in this world of lovers.

I am your moon and your moonlight too

I am your flower garden and your water too.

I have come all this way eager for you,

without shoes or shawl.

I want you to laugh, to end all your worries, to love you, to nourish you.

Oh sweet bitterness, I will soothe you and heal you.

I will bring you roses.  I too have been covered with thorns.

...oh how I've missed you...

I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me,
let us be neighbors to the stars.  

You have been hiding so long,
endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.

Even so, you have always been connected to me. 
 Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. 

 I am life itself.  You have been a prisoner of a little pond, 
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.  Come merge with me, 
leave this world of ignorance. 
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty,
and wish to see you with a hundred eyes....
I am in the house of mercy,
and my heart is a place of prayer.

I desire you more than food or drink
My body, my senses, my mind hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart,
although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passion for one gesture, one glance from you.

Looking at my life
I see that only Love
Has been my soul’s companion
From deep inside my soul cries out:
Do not wait, surrender
For the sake of Love.

When we feel love and kindness toward
others, it not only makes others feel loved
and cared for, but it helps us also to develop
inner happiness and peace.
~ His Holiness, the Dalai Lama

What is most remarkable is not that love
is such a powerful force for good in our lives,
but that so few of us are aware of how completely we are changed when we put loving others first.

May you always know the power of love
and the blessing loving others brings.

Healers remind the cells of the body that they
are perfect love. - Emmanual (Pat Rodegast)

The future, higher evolution will belong to those who live in joy, who share joy,
and who spread joy.  - Torkom Saraydarian

Joy, as the energy of love, is the highest vibration on this planet. Everything in the universe is energy; it can be measured and reduced to vibrational frequencies. It’s a universal law that as we think and feel we vibrate, and as we vibrate we attract. When we are in the high joy vibration, we attract what is for our greater good.

The Ancient Egyptians saw Joy as a sacred responsibility. They believed that upon their death, the God Osiris would ask them two questions: "Did you bring Joy?" and "Did you find Joy?" Those who answered ‘yes’ could continue their journey into the afterlife.

For at least the next week or two, ask yourself these two questions each and every day:
Did I bring joy? Did I find joy?

Man loves because he is Love. He seeks Joy, for he is Joy.
He thirsts for God for he is composed of God and he cannot exist without Him.
- Sathya Sai Baba
