Darkness is not a force -
it is merely the absence of light.

the darkness disappears.

when joy is brought to suffering,
the sadness disappears.
Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

Although the world is full of suffering,
it is full also of the overcoming of it.
My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil,
but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good
and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good,
that it may prevail.
- Helen Keller
When you are alone you are not alone,
you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.
When you are lonely you are thinking of the other,
you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state.
You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.
It would have been good if the other
were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive.
It is a presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence
that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
- Osho
The child in me could not die as it should have died,
because according too legends it must find its father again.
The old legends knew, perhaps, that in absence
the father becomes glorified, deified, eroticized,
and this outrage against God the Father has to be atoned for.
The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human,
as man who created a child and then, by his absence,
left the child fatherless and then Godless.
- Anais Nin
Lord, grant that I might not so much
seek to be loved as to love.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite,
and you do not know what it will bring back,
a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.

it is less so than true friendship.

Your love is more powerful
than your words or your actions.

If you love something, set it free;
if it comes back it's yours,
if it doesn't, it never was.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.

Love is granting another the space to be
the way they are and the way they are not.

Love one another but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;

If we want to be with someone we love, aren't we already there?

Sometimes the best love was the one that was always there.
