“Everything he says is new to me. But something about it sounds so familiar, like a passive knowledge I had always known before. I want this liberation, this boundless love!”

“If I am in love, many things about the world, not just the immediate object of my love, seem lovable.

The expansiveness of love is a natural means of ascent between levels.”
― Robin Waterfield
