There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled
There is a void in your soul ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?
You feel the separation from the Beloved.
Invite him to fill you up
embrace the fire.
Remind these who tell you otherwise
that Love comes to you of its own accord
and the yearning for it
cannot be learned in any school.

(Rumi)

Water is fluid soft, and yielding.
But water will wear away rock,
which is rigid and cannot yield.
As rule whatever if fluid, soft,
and yielding will overcome whatever
is rigid and hard.
This is another paradox:
What is soft is strong.

(Lao Tse)

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness. The important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.

(Dalai Lama)
