When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you’ve got two new people.

"Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control ... Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."

- Albert Einstein

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

Loving and being loved are two very different things.

If someone loves you but you are somehow shut off, depressed, or unable to receive it, then no matter how much they love you, you will not feel it.

Yet if you love someone, regardless of whether or not they accept it, you will feel filled with love. 

That difference highlights the fact that love is a non-dual phenomenon. Love doesn’t require two people, or a subject and object.

It requires just one heart. 

Whenever it seems like love is disappearing from your life, be that in the form of a breakup or a series of unfortunate events, don’t struggle to impose your preferences onto the situation. Don’t strive to satisfy your insecurity. 

Instead, use the opportunity to uncover the real abode of love, the timeless radiance within your beating heart. 

It’s not easy and it’s not painless, but really there is no other choice.

Love shines from the placeless, timeless, sourceless source within.

So long as you require someone or something external to give you permission to access and commune with the source of love, you will be in unnecessary bondage.

But by learning to bear your heart, to allow it to break open, you can uncover the very abode of consciousness.

It is in the nature of human that we outgrow something. We outgrow the things or person we cherished the most in our lives. And we start outgrowing things from our childhood and this porcess continues till our death. You may sometimes feel an attachment to that person or thing but not like that.

"You will outgrow something that was once a comfort; you will replace it with a song you hum in the soft parts of yourself."

– Liv Walton, from "You Will Feel A Flash of Orange," published c. April 2019

“Archaeologists have not yet discovered any stage of human existence without art. Even in the half-light before the dawn of humanity we received this gift from Hands we did not manage to discern. Nor have we managed to ask: Why was this gift given to us and what are we to do with it? And all those prophets who are predicting that art is disintegrating, that it has used up all its forms, that it is dying, are mistaken. We are the ones who shall die. And art will remain. The question is whether before we perish we shall understand all its aspects and all its ends.”

—  Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Beauty Will Save the World
