One who has never known the turbulence of life, in whom the petals of the mysterious flower within have never opened such a one may seem happy, may seem a saint, his single track mind may impress the multitude with its power - but he is ill equipped for life's true adventure into the infinite.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Your love keeps me afloat but will remain the anchor in my soul... I don't really have words to describe how romantic I find that. Your love is what keeps me going, but it's also the anchor that keeps me close to you. I love it!

God finds himself by creating.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The water vessel, taken as a vessel only, raises the question, Why does it exist at all? Through its fitness of construction, it offers the apology for its existence. But where it is a work of beauty it has no question to answer it has nothing to do, but to be.
Rabindranath Tagore

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate: he who loves finds the door open.
