Increase My Love




Let love be the sweet elixir that awakens your spirit and moves your soul to dance.
Let your love be like the misty rain, coming softly but flooding the river.
Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.


(Rossiter Worthington Raymond)



The story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.


(Helen Hayes)



Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons.


(Kahlil Gibran)



Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.


(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)



Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.


(Song of Solomon 8:7)



May my love increase...



May my thoughts, be thoughts that increase my love.


May my words be words, that increase my love,


May my actions be actions that increase my love,


May what I resist increase my love,


May what I yield increase my love,


May what I recieve increase my love,


May what I give increase my love,


May what I read increase my love,


May what I write increase my love,


May what I say increase my love,


And the silences that remain increase my love.



Between even the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, if they succeed in loving the distance between them it is possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.


(Rainer Maria Rilke)
