• The Nine Lives of Chloe King: The Fallen; The Stolen; The Chosen;

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation. There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in love. Only lovers can escape out of these two worlds. I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn.

The soul calls from within me: On the path of love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the master painter. Whatever happens, just keep smiling and lose yourself in love. If you love someone, you are always joined with them — in joy, in absence, in solitude , in strife. Travel brings power and love back into your life. Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire. This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor… Welcome and entertain them all.

Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety; If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without any pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it. Observe the wonders as they occur around you.

Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. Anything you lose comes round in another form. Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul. Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom. Joy for he who has escaped from this world of perfumes and color! For beyond these colors and these perfumes, these are other colors in the heart and the soul.

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful. The illuminated life can happen now, in the moments left. Die to your ego, and become a true human being. Travelers, it is late. During these brief days that you have strength , be quick and spare no effort of your wings. If destiny comes to help you, love will come to meet you. Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.

Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love. Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.

A warm, rainy day-this is how it feels when friends get together. Friend refreshes friend then, as flowers do each others, in a spring rain. Friendship of the wise is good; a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend. The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy. All people on the planet are children, except for a very few.

No one is grown up except those free of desire. This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief. Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter.

N.R. Hart Quotes (Author of Poetry and Pearls)

It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

Keep your gaze on the bandaged place.

Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it.

Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your heart from the darkness of hate.
