When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other, when they have seen that they are matched, are in sympathy and compatible, in a word; that they are alike, there is then established for ever between them a union, fiery and pure as they themselves are, a union which begins on earth and continues for ever in heaven. This union is love, true love, such as in truth very few men can conceive of, that love which is a religion, which deifies the loved one, whose life comes from devotion and passion, and for which the greatest sacrafices are the sweetest delights.

Victor Hugo (to Adele Foucher)
(1802-1885)

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

Jalalu'ddin Rumi ("Open Secrets")

We are the dupes of myth when we upbraid
Ourselves because we love; for we are made
For loving: all the sweets of living are
For those that love. Be joyful, unafraid!

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Who travels for love finds a thousand miles not longer than one.

Japanese Proverb

I will bring you flowers
every morning for your breakfast
and you will kiss me
with flowers in your mouth
and you will bring me flowers
every morning when you wake
and look at me with flowers in your eyes.

Heather Holden ("Summer Poem")

Ego let go

It is one of the most difficult things you can do. And yet, it is very simple, easy and effortless.
It is one of the most powerful things you can do. And yet, when you do it you give up the need and the desire for power.

What is it? It is letting go of your own ego.

When you can bring yourself to get beyond your own ego, you raise yourself to a whole new level of awareness, experience and effectiveness. When you can think, live and act unconstrained by the limitations of your ego, the possibilities are truly endless.

Your worries, your fears, your doubts, anxieties, disappointments and hesitation to move forward are all sustained by your ego. Imagine the power of leaving all those limitations behind.

Spend a few minutes, a few hours, or an entire day unconcerned about what others will think, or what's in it for you, or whether something offends you or not. Feel the freedom, delight in the ability to accomplish, and explore possibilities that you may never before have even known about.

-- Ralph Marston
