Muhammad says, 'Love of one's country is a part of the faith.' But don't take that literally! Your real 'country' is where you're heading, not where you are. Don't misread that hadith.

A pen went scribbling along. When it tried to write love, it broke.

And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.

Love risks everything and asks for nothing.

Nothing can help me but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.

Move, but don't move the way fear makes you move.

Grace comes to forgive and then forgive again.
