LOTUS HEART

I feel like allowing yourself to fall in love is like physically handing someone your mind and body and soul and allowing them to destroy you at any moment. Like here’s my heart, my brain, my knees, my eyes. Fuck me up. I’m still limping from my previous experience, but I’m doing my best to hide it because you deserve someone brand new. I’m giving you the opportunity to hurt me. I’m giving you the chance to create images I don’t want to see and have conversations I wouldn’t want to hear. I’m going to completely submerge myself in your love, and I pray to God you swim with me.

This genuine heart of sadness can teach us great compassion. It can humble us when we’re arrogant and soften us when we are unkind. It awakens us when we prefer to sleep and pierces through our indifference. This continual ache of the heart is a blessing that when accepted fully can be shared with all.”

“I am the original fragrance of the earth. I am the taste in water. I am the heat in fire and the sound in space. I am the light of the sun and moon and the life of all that lives.”

Love is the glue of the universe.

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

You should never hate anyone, even your worst enemies. Everyone has something good about them. You have to find the redeeming quality and love the person for that.
