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

If you pour a handful of salt into a cup of water, the water becomes undrinkable. But if you pour the salt into a river, people can continue to draw the water to cook, wash, and drink. The river is immense, and it has the capacity to receive, embrace, and transform. When our hearts are small, our understanding and compassion are limited, and we suffer. We can’t accept or tolerate others and their shortcomings, and we demand that they change. But when our hearts expand, these same things don’t make us suffer anymore. We have a lot of understanding and compassion and can embrace others. We accept others as they are, and then they have a chance to transform.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Submit to love

without thinking

as the sun

this morning

rose recklessly

extinguishing our

star-candle minds.

Rumi

"What happens when people open their hearts?"

"They get better."

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Everything except love is devoured by love;

to the beak of love the two worlds are but a single grain.

Love is an ocean, on which the heavens are but a flake of foam.

Know that the waves of Love make the cosmos go round:

were it not for Love, the cosmos would freeze and go frowned.  

Rumi

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.

Viktor E. Frankl

Love is your power

You know quite well deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation... And that is called loving.

Hermann Hesse
