The agony of lovers burns with the fire of passion. Lovers leave traces of where they've been. The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God.
Once we were particles of Light, now we are Beings of Light, radiating Love.

From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem!

I am sunlight slicing the dark.
All is known in the sacredness of silence.
Wash the dust from your SOUl and HEART with wisdom's WATER.
