Love + Union
...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)...
- e.e. cummings

..it is the power of unconditional love that gives us the resolve to uphold a person's pride while acquiescing to their flaws and follies. The great paradox is by loving one's ideal of God espied in a person, one helps that person to honor his/her real self. Therefore it is love that makes God a reality.
- Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.

I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbors to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest....
- Jalaluddin Rumi

I asked him with my eyes to ask again -yes- and then he asked me would I -yes- to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him -yes- and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume -yes-and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes...
