the truth is that real love requires real inner work that most people just aren’t interested in. 

it requires that we first be happy in our solitude; that we come to know ourselves, accept ourselves and love ourselves. we have to find our peace of mind, find our purpose, our passion, our joie de vivre. 

what we call “true love” is that rare and sacred union that happens when two people join in this dance together.

it is a friendship, a love affair and an act of worship. passion, lust, affection, caring, trust, respect and devotion all become part of an exquisite surrender. lovers merge with each other and with the vast, wild universe. neither knows for sure if it will last a weekend or a lifetime. it doesn’t matter.

falling in love feels like an accidental occurrence to many people, but in spiritual terms it is not - it is the entrance point to love's eternal journey. because when our hearts break open, it is really about forming new connections with ourselves, with our art, with each other. our hearts break to let us know love.
