EVEN

AFTER

ALL THIS TIME

THE SUN NEVER SAYS TO THE EARTH

"YOU OWE ME"

LOOK

WHAT HAPPENS

WITH A LOVE LIKE THIS

IT LIGHTS THE WHOLE SKY!

~HAFIZ

1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Proverbs 17:9
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.



on love...

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Love One Another
~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet (1883-1931)



Love one another, but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping;
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together;
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

LOVE

The power to
Love is God's greatest gift to man,
For it never will be taken from the
Blessed one who loves.

Love lies in the soul alone,
not in the body, and like wine
Should stimulate our better self
To welcome gifts of Love Divine.

Man cannot real love until after sad and revealing seperation,
and bitter patience, and desperate hardship.

Yesterday I stood at the temple door interrogating the
passersby about the mystery and merit of love.
And before me passed an old man with an emaciated and
melancholy face, who sighned and said:
"Love is a natural weakness bestowed upon
us by the first man."

But a virile youth restored:
"Love joins our present with the past and the future."

Then a woman with a tragic face sighed and said:
"Love is deadly poison injected by black vipers,
that crawl from the caves of hell. The poison
seems fresh as first intoxication the drinker
sickens and dies a slow death."

Then a beautiful, rosy-cheeked damsel smilingly said:
"Love is a wine served by the brides of Dawn which
strengthens strong sould and enables them to
ascend to the stars."

After her a black-robed, beared man, frowning, said:
"Love is the blind ignorance with which youth
begins and ends."

Another, smiling, declared:
"Love is a divine knowlede that enables men to see as
much as the gods."

Then said a blind man, feeling his way with a cane:
"Love is a blinding mist that keeps the sould from
discerning the secret of existence, so that the heart sees
only trembling phantoms of desire among the hills, and
hears only echoes of cries from voiceless valleys."

And a feeble ancient, dragging his feet like two rags,
said, in quavering tones:
"Love is the rest of the body in the quiet of the grave,
the tranquility of the soul in the depth of Eternity."

And a five-year old child, after him, said laughing:
"Love is my father and mother and no one knows
Love save my father and mother."

And so, all who passed spoke of Love as the image of
their hopes and frustrations, leaving it a mystery as before.

Those whom Love has not chosen
as followers do not hear when Love calls.

Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms
without the aid of seasons.

Love is the only freedom in the world because it so
elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the
phenomena of nature do not alter its course.

Love passes by us, robed in meekness; but we flee
from her in fear, or hide in the darkness; or else
pursue her, to do evil in her name.

Love that comes between the naivete and awakening
of youth satisfies itself with possessing, and grows with
embraces. But Love which is born in the firmament's lap
and has descended with the night's secrets is not
contented with anything but Eternity and immortality; it
does not stand reverently before anything except deity.

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
