The love religion is all that is written here.

And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.

We began as mineral. We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again.

There is a morning inside you waiting to burst open into light.

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.

“You’ve so distracted me, your absence fans my love. Don’t ask how. Then you come near. “Do not…” I say, and “Do not…,” you answer. Don’t ask why this delights me.”

There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.

Tis easy to break an idol, very easy: to regard the self as easy to subdue is folly, folly.

Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.

I have no name for what circles so perfectly.

What draws friends together does not conform to the laws of nature.

We are born of love. Love is our mother.
