“This world can erode girls, strip away their foundation of self Love. The act is gradual, can be inviting. One day, you naturally feed yourself what feels good to your soul. Another day, you find yourself as a woman so far out to sea you cannot see your soul. To be well as a woman is to choose continuous resistance to this subtle erosion. Persistent whole-keeping. Many want to break you down, fraction you up. Turn you into parts. Stay whole. Surround yourself with wholeness and whole-keepers. Make your freedom sing. You are everything.”
― Jaiya John, Daughter Drink This Water: A Book of Sacred Love

“Love is a conscious matter growing and rising from the heart.
Its manifestation is an enlightening awareness from within the soul.
It blooms for the core of our being and cannot be materialized.
It’s a higher consciousness of realty with a deeprooted sense of beauty.”
― Joseph S. Spence Sr.

“There are truths covering lies, and lies covering truth. Like peeling an onion, you uncover the truth little by little until in the end, you open your eyes to find out that everyone around you, including yourself, is lying all the time.”
― Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship
