e.e. cummings

"trust your heart when the seas catch fire.

live in love though the stars walk backwards"

Eleven Minutes

Speaking of desire...

"Every human being experiences his or her own desire; it is part of our personal treasure and, although, as an emotion, it can drive people away, generally speaking, it brings those who are important to us closer. It is an emotion chosen by my soul, and it is so intense that it can infect everything and everyone around me."

The Alchemist

"The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes after will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, bring with it an eternity."

Istanbul, Turkey

"He learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke-the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love."

Sinai Desert, Egypt

"Because when you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet the, past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning."
