Honor He Wrote Sonnet 94
How will you know you’ve realized love?
When people no longer appear at a distance.
When they no longer appear as people,
But as reflection of your own essence.
When the other becomes I,
I becomes universal.
In that universal I all that there is,
Is an echo of the people.
The I is in all people,
But people are not in all the I.
That is why we suffer so much,
That is why we all cry, cry and cry.
If one dies thinking of people,
They will live on through people.

Law of Light (The Sonnet) | The Gentalist
Light shared is light amplified,
Light hoarded is light lost.
Life is light when lived for others,
Darkness when lost in snobbish cause.
We are truly knowledgeable,
When our knowledge annuls animosity.
We truly have existence solely when,
We exist to elevate all of humanity.
Elevation of humanity happens,
One neighborhood at a time.
Time and space have meaning,
Only when they help our spirits align.
In short, there is neither time nor space.
Either everything is love or sheer nonsense.
