Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations ofthe soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents Godhas given us.

True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It

is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.

Beauty at its Best in Contemplation

Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.

An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception

“The Beauty Is At its Best In all Forms May be in charity Or Even while Playful”

The madness of love is the greatest of heaven's blessings.
