Love
To keep the love in our lives alive, we must remain starry-eyed.
The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains.

"When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully — in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love." — Eknath Easwaran "Therefore, when I say that ‘I love,’ it is not I who love, but in reality Love who acts through me. Love is not so much something I do as something that I am. Love is not a doing but a state of being - a relatedness, a connectedness to another mortal, an identification with her or him that simply flows within me and through me, independent of my intentions or my efforts." — Robert A. Johnson "When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible."
— Don Miguel Ruiz
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
—Harry Emerson Fosdick
It is not genius, not glory, nor love that reflects the greatness of the human soul; it is kindness.
—Henri-Dominique Lacordaire
Love that lasts involves a real and genuine concern for others as persons, for their values as they feel them, for their development and growth.
—Evelyn Duvall
