Quotes by Rani Manicka

“Flowers grow beneath her feet, but she is not dead at all. The years have not diminished the Rice Mother. I see her, fierce and magical. Stop despairing and call to her, and you will see, she will come bearing a rainbow of dreams.”
― Rani Manicka, The Rice Mother

“Cada uno de nosotros ha venido a la tierra con varias piezas de un puzle tan grande como el universo. Cada vez que conocemos a alguien, se las enseñamos de manera inconsciente para ver si las de esa persona encajan con las nuestras. Si no encajan, cada uno sigue su camino y no hay nada que hacer. Ay, pero si encajan... Ahí es donde empiezan la atracción, el odio, los celos, el amor, el dolor y el
aprendizaje.”
― Rani Manicka, The Japanese Lover

“La muerte no es nada.No le tengo apego a este cuerpo. Es solo un vehículo que mi alma necesita para alcanzar un nivel más elevado de conciencia e iluminación.Resulta desconcertante para los seres humanos, pero ¿cómo iba el alma inmortal a continuar su viaje sin la muerte?”
― Rani Manicka, The Japanese Lover
