Quote of the Week:

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and Third by experience, which is the bitterest.

-Confucius

Let it... (An Original)

Let actions speak
Let words listen
Let emotions perceive
In the midst of silence

Let the mind feel
What the heart thinks
Let truth admit
The lie it brings

Let the waters run dry
Let the rainfall shine
Let no one seek
What true love finds

Let love lead the way
Let love be left behind
To guide us, to catch us
To make us see when we are blind

Let love think
Let love feel
Let love break
Let love heal
Let love laugh
Let love cry
Let love live
Let love die

The Irony of Love (an Original)

Love bears in it
The strangest of things

It is compared to those which are not
When in itself is incomparable

In its stillness
It brings out its raging fury

In its silence
It makes itself known

In its truthfulness
It begets lies and self-projection

In its sanity
It creates euphoric feelings of Utopia

In seclusion 
It hides what is being revealed

In its existence
It ceases to become what it is by becoming more

In its essence
It is but a mutual feeling between two worlds

In its being
It is love and only love itself

How foolish for mortals to overthink complexities
For something so simple as the feeling of being in love
