A soulmate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace.
Thomas Moore
Image
Humility, that low, sweet root, from which all heavenly virtues shoot.
Thomas Moore
Image
From plants that wake when others sleep, from timid jasmine buds that keep their odour to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.
Thomas Moore

How many times do we lose an occasion for soul work by leaping ahead to final solutions without pausing to savor the undertones? We are a radically bottom-line society, eager to act and to end tension, and thus we lose opportunities to know ourselves for our motives and our secrets.
Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore
Image
It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back.
Thomas Moore
Image
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas Moore
Image
We let a river shower its banks with a spirit that invades the people living there, and we protect that river, knowing that without its blessings the people have no source of soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
Thomas Moore
Image
All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest.

Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.

This is the right time, and this is the right thing.

Image
We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed.

Most, if not all, problems brought to therapists are issues of love. It makes sense that the cure is also love.
