Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.

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

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
