“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow.

To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.”

How could that be described as just anything?”
― Emily Maguire, Taming the Beast
