There is a land by faith I’ve seen Where skies no clouded regions know; Where they know not the sorrows of time and no shadows fall to blight the view That land no want has ever known, Nor pain nor sickness nor distress; there, Death, the last enemy, is slain; There those who meet shall part no more, And those long parted meet again...

Beyond these wild winds and gloomy skies, beyond death’s cloudy portal, there is a land where beauty never dies and love becomes immortal, a land whose light is never dimmed by shadow, where nothing beautiful can ever fade, but blooms for aye eternal.

At least, above us, stars shine, tiny pieces of heaven that overflowing with generosity and absorb our tiredness. Every heart's a star within, that echoing the bliss of eternity, every star's a aflame heart that holds our hand.

Our worlds, our suns, our ages, stream, like a dateless dream. Each drop of blood is a starry song and our souls are breaths of eternity. Eyes, say, why were ye given your sight? To light a star, to welcome of immortal skies.

I came into existence, naked yet clothed with innocence and unaware, bathed with my mother’s blood, old folks heard me cry and were so glad. I came not into this unknown sphere by my own will and I will not leave of my own will but i will drink the wine of the mystery and become drunk with anguish, fear and love...

If I can stop one heart from breaking, shall not live in vain, If I can ease one life the aching, I shall not live in vain. Life is too short. A flower doomed to swift decay, to bud and bloom and pass away. But he who kisses with joy the life, lives in eternity’s sun rise. https://www...

I am part of nature, and nature is part of me. I am what I am in my communication and communion with all living things. I am an irreducible and coherent whole with the web of life on the planet. Nature, the human community and the universe is connected with the Cosmos. We recognize the deep truth that I am the other. This expresses the concept from contemporary physics of “entanglement”, which is a quantum phenomenon. All atoms, all cells are connected, deeply.” The friendship is the connection we feel for each other, wherever he is, other people, animals, plants, stars. I am part of society, and society is part of me...

When day comes we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never ending shade? The loss we carry, a ocean we must wade. We braved the belly of the beast. I have seen you in millions of places. I met you in a million forms. We met among the ruins, the ashes and the bones, we lost them all, but we found each other, I saw your lion heart, and it pulled me. I saw the creation and the destruction in your eyes. I see you here in the mud, on the rock, in the rays of the rising sun. We are Dead and alive, we saw a thousand Christs go by As they went up to Calvary but The dove it found no resting place...
