"Love does not grown on trees or brought in the market, but if one wants to be "LOVED" one must first know how to give (unconditional)LOVE.."

a thousand
souls.

babbling about this and that.

Inside this clay jug there are canyons and pine mountains,
and the maker of canyons and mountains!
All seven oceans are inside, and hundreds of millions of stars.

As the river enters into the ocean,
so my heart touches Thee.

The right hand and the left hand are one and the same.
