“Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.”

“Hold dear and true friends close to your heart, it matters not where you find them, only that you treat them with love and respect always.”

“To hear people talk, you would think no one ever did anything but love each other. But when you look for it, when you search out this love everyone is always talking about, it is nowhere to be found; and when someone looks for love from you, you find you are not able to give it, you are not able to hold the trust and dreams they want you to hold, any more than you could cradle water in your arms.”

“After all we've shared, I just want to hold you and be close. Rest in my arms and know that I love you.”

“The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together.”

“It is time to put up a love-swing!Tie the body and then tie the mind so that they swing between the arms of the Secret One you love,Bring the water that falls from the clouds to your eyes,and cover yourself inside entirely with the shadow of night.Bring your face up close to his ear,and then talk only about what you want deeply to happen.”
