“In front of me,
I see the jungle burning; behind me,
I see green plants sprouting.
We shall merge into the One
from whom we came.”

” … no girl had ever moved me with a story
of spiritual suffering and so beautifully her
soul showing out radiant as an angel
wandering in hell and the hell the
selfsame streets I’d roamed in watching,
watching for someone just like her
and never dreaming
the darkness and the mystery
and eventuality of our meeting in eternity.”
Jack Kerouac
Bright Side
“Inside you are sweet beyond telling!
There is a sun in everyone.
I become a mirror that cannot close
its eyes to your longing.
My eyes wet with yours in the early light.
My mind every moment giving birth,
always conceiving,
always in the 9th month.
And then, an empty sky,
and everything is soul and flowering.
Everything is soul and flowering!”
Rumi

“Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes,
that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nature’s Depth
“It was not that the jagged precipices
were lofty, that the encircling woods were
the dimmest shade, or that the waters were
profoundly deep; but that over all,
rocks, wood, and water, brooded the spirit of repose,
and the silent energy of nature stirred
the soul to its inmost depths.”

“Love is always thirsty
and looking for a thirsty lover.
Love and lover follow each other
like day and night.”
Rumi
Peace & Love
“The soul walks not upon a line;
neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself,
like a lotus of countless petals.”
Kahlil Gibran
