“Two men, a philosopher & a mystic, were lost in a forest on a very dark night. It was a very dangerous forest, full of wild animals, very dense, with darkness all around.

“To find someone who will Love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness.” ~ Robert Brault … and to make that “someone” a stranger — even an enemy, is to know the gentle kiss of the Divine. How in-Sight-full to see the Truth of “we reap […]
