Love is the affinity which links and draws
Together the elements of the world...
Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

I rest not from my great task! To open the Eternal Worlds,
To open the Immortal Eyes of Man inwards into
The Worlds of Thought; into Eternity ever expanding
In the Bosom of God, The Human Imagination.

Leo Buscaglia 1924-1998 ~ The Velvet Underground (Lou Reed 1942- ) ...I'll Be Your Mirror ~ Clem Snide

Love is like a mirror. When you love another
You become his mirror and he becomes yours...
And reflecting each other's love you see infinity.

Anonymous ~ Pink Floyd - Roger Waters 1943- ...Julia Dream

No glass ever became sand again; no bread ever became wheat;
No ripened fruit ever became a flower. Welcome change and choose
What kind of glass you create, what kind of bread you bake, what kind of fruit you harvest.

In my dream, I dream all the dreams of the other dreamers and I become the other dreamers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1823-1884 ~ John Lennon 1943-2001 ...#9 Dream

In many forms we try to utter God's infinity but the boundless hath no form,
And the Universal friend doth as far transcend an angel as a worm.
It leaves the learned in the lurch. Nor art, nor power, nor toil,
Can find the measure of the Eternal mind, nor hymn, nor prayer, nor church.

Alan Watts 1915-1973 ~ Bob Dylan 1943- ...One More Cup Of Coffee

Released from the circle of attempted self-love,
The mind of man draws the whole Universe into its own
Unity as a single dewdrop seems to contain the entire sky.

Rumi 1207-1273 ~ George Harrison 1943-2001...Out Of The Blue

Come, come whoever you are - wanderer, idolator, worshipper of fire.
Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come and come yet again. Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Paramahansa Yogananda 1893-1952 ~ Charles Mingus 1922-1979 & Joni Mitchell 1943- ...Horas Decubitus ~ Elvis Costello 1954-

In seemingly empty space there is one link,
One life eternal, which unites everything in the universe -
Animate and inanimate - one wave of life flowing through everything.

That which penetrates Heaven and Earth and connects past and present
Is nothing other than the material substance (qi), which is unitary.

Lao- tzu 604-521 BC ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival (John Fogarty 1945- ) ...Run Through The Jungle

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862 ~ John Hiatt 1952- ...Thunderbird

Men say they know many things; but lo!
They have taken wings:
The arts and sciences, and a thousand appliances;
The wind that blows is all that anybody knows.

Jacob Boehme 1575-1624 ~ JJ Cale 1938- ...Sensitive Kind

If man's eyes were but opened
He should see God everywhere
In his heaven, for Heaven stands in
The innermost moving everywhere.

Helen Keller 1880-1968 ~ Suzanne Vega 1959- ...My Favorite Plum

Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind;
Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird,
As if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.
Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail.
Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel,
As if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again.

e.e. cummings 1894-1962 ~ Bjork 1965- ...Venus As A Boy

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as spring opens
touching (skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose.

Albert Schweitzer 1875-1965 ~ Steppenwolf (John Kaye 1944- & Rushton Moreve 1948-1981) ...Magic Carpet Ride

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark
From another person. Each of us has cause to thank with
Deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible sun within us.

The waterfall sings "I find my song, when I find my freedom".

Epictetus AD55-AD135 ~ Ozark Mountain Daredevils (John Dillon) ...Standing On The Rock

Nothing great is created suddenly,
Anymore than a bunch of grapes or a fig.
I answer you that there must be time.
Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
