*LOVE*

Intelligence and imagination
are the ultimate aphrodisiacs.

Love is more than an emotion. It is a force of nature and must always contain the truth.

Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. Stop to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is only a little parenthesis in eternity.

*Lady Jan Antonius*

Hello Dear Friends!

Let us sit here in the courtyard, chat and get to know each other, have some wine, champagne, and refreshments, and listen to some wonderful, soothing music.

As you can plainly see, I am a lover of love, peace, serenity, joy, simplicity, harmony, poetry, music, art, history, and life eternal!

Please click the candle for a very nice treat. You'll be happy that you did!

The Code of Chivalry

Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a love divine
In one another's being mingle;-
Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;-
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

*Percy Bysse Shelley*

Quotes On Love

Divine love, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way that light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more that it gives itself; so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of loving is. And, the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, for, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other's.

*Dante*

Ever it has been that love knows not its own depth till the hour of separation.

*Kahlil Gibran*

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

*Rainer Maria Rilke*

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation...so we must not forget, when we love, that we are beginners, bunglers of life, apprentices in love and must learn love...

*Rainer Maria Rilke*

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

*Helen Keller*

The Path of Love brings both ecstasy and suffering, with spiritual lessons to be learned from each... Life should not be measured by the number of breaths you take; but rather, by the number of events that take your breath away. Intelligence and imagination are the ultimate aphrodisiacs... And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...

*John Lennon*

Wherever your mind lives, that is where your life is headed. The thoughts you think most frequently, willingly and intensely, have the power to shape and define the reality of your life. What thoughts are shaping you this moment?

Fill your mind with thoughts of love, possibility, confidence, abundance and generosity. Never dwell on anger, limitation, worry or envy.
