Love...


Love is the universal order, we are the atoms;

love is the ocean, we are the drops.

Love has offered us a hundred proofs;

we are looking for reasons.

Through love, the heavens are ordered;

without love, suns and moons are eclipsed,

Through love what was bent is made straight;

without love, what was straight becomes bent.



- Rumi
