Quotes
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
Work is love made visible.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Your daily life is your temple and your religion.
