Love means to look at yourself
The way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.

No matter what race of people we come from, we all desire the same things. We all have the same passion. We want to love. When we nurture the spirit, the spirit will guide us. Spirit is and always will be about guiding humanity to what each of us wants and craves, which is simply to love one another.

Gift

It is not because we have value that we are loved, but because we are loved that we have value.  Our value is a gift, not an achievement.
