Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way.

That good gardener, who wept thorns plowing his fields - harvests grace with joy.

At one end of the continuum known as history are first-time events that have generated notable measures of public recognition due to either a positive or negative impact.
Aberjhani
Passion presented with a greater challenge achieves a greater goal.

What hell condemned, let heaven now heal.
Aberjhani
This is what our love is––a sacred pattern of unbroken unity sewn flawlessly invisible inside all other images, thoughts, smells, and sounds.
Aberjhani
This world’s anguish is no different from the love we insist on holding back.
Aberjhani
If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love?
Aberjhani
I called it a baptism in flaming ink that forced me to shed my shyness about recognizing myself as a poet and to accept the fact that life had never given me any choice in the matter. And then I had to discover exactly what that meant.
Aberjhani
You were born a child of light’s wonderful secret— you return to the beauty you have always been.

Some have speculated that the way [Albert] Camus died made his theories on absurdity a self-fulfilling prophecy. Others would say it was the triumphant meaningful way he lived that allowed him to rise heroically above absurdity.
Aberjhani
Shine your soul with the same egoless humility as the rainbow and no matter where you go in this world or the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you.
