All men and all women are connected by an energy which many people call love, but which is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built. This energy can’t be manipulated, it leads us gently forwards, it contains all we have to learn in this life. It we try to make it go in the direction we want, we end up desperate, frustrated, disillusioned, because that energy is free and wild.
We could spend the rest of our life saying that we love such a person or thing, when the truth is that we are merely suffering because, instead of accepting love’s strength, we are trying to diminish it so that it fits the world in which we imagine we live.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

“He died While he was still alive”
typical model of people i meet everyday, those whose sense of life inside their hearts has vanished, and the simple meanings of love,beauty, justice and equality was simply buried with their humanity
sometimes i feel as if i am a walking zombie,laugh, eat, work,and do all what the livings do… but without true interaction with others, for i have lost myself in a journey of desperation to find my truth … and what remains is memories of old me and what used to be,from which i extract my actions in certain situations
one line … described a lifetime
Miss Egyptiana
Hey, I’ve just read your poems…fantastic, beautiful and amazing….do not give up hope please….there maybe twilight, there maybe dark, but there is always a dawn sun to rise and shine on you once more.
Love LJ

—-ive realize these when id read the book.. that love is need of space in other to know love more… love need of self discovery that you have to be far away w/ the person you love most in other for the both of you to grow..—–
