“Living is about capturing the essence of things. I go through my life every day with a vial, a vial wherein can be found precious essential oils of every kind! The priceless, fragrant oils that are the essence of my experiences, my thoughts. I walk inside a different realm from everybody else, in that I am existing in the essence of things; every time there is reason to smile, I hold out my glass vial and capture that drop of oil, that essence, and then I smile. And that is why I have smiled, and so you and I may be smiling at the same time but I am smiling because of that one drop of cherished, treasured oil that I have extracted. When I write, I find no need to memorize an idea, a plot, a sequence of things: no. I must only capture the essence of a feeling or a thought and once I have inhaled that aroma, I know that I have what I need.”

“Time and space, Infinity
You, me, we
One

When this opening is revealed, found
is your sacred heart

Spiritual heart
Earth, heaven, sky, peace, love-
It is all there.

The wind becomes your lips and the sun becomes your eyes, just as too the earth becomes your feet. The echoes of your Soul, becomes your ears.

Taste, see, feel and walk
For, it is there that we meet.”
― Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul
