Mindfulness may help you gain insight into your role in conflicts with others, it won’t single-highhandedly help you resolve them.
~ Sharon Salzberg
The heart is a generous muscle.
These are times when sympathetic joy comes naturally, but in a complex relationship the heart may not leap up so easily.
Laughing at your pettiness probably works better than scolding yourself for it.
Sympathetic joy is a practice. It takes time and effort to free ourselves of the scarcity story that most of us have learned along the way, the idea that happiness is a competition, and that someone else is grabbing all the joy.
By experimenting with sympathetic joy, we break from the constricted world of individual struggle and see that joy exists in more places than we have yet imagined.
To celebrate someone else’s life, we need to find a way to look at it straight on, not from above with judgment or from below with envy.
Love is not the primeval surge of libidinal lust that a person receives when meeting a suitable partner for the first time. Love in the truest sense of the term is born much later in a relationship, when both sides get to the know the truest selves of each other.

Here's what I've learned about soon; it's short for someday. We make space in our lives for what matters, now. Not in promises and soons, but on mantels with sterling frames, in shelves we clear to make room for our now. Everything else i talk.

He would let Violet find her own way and time to tell Elizabeth. In the interim, he would listen and hold her hand and offer his counsel, but he would not push. He understood now how deep her wounds ran, how hard it was for her to trust that she could make mistakes and still deserve love.
~ Sarah Mayberry
There is no conflict between loving others deeply and living mindfully.
Even when we do our very best to treat those close to us with utmost respect and understanding, conflict happens. That’s life. That’s human nature.
No connection is always easy or free of strife, no matter how many minutes a day we meditate. It’s how we relate to conflict, as well as to our differing needs and expectations, that makes our relationships sustainable.
Love is defined by difficult acts of human compassion & generosity.
As we explore new ways of loving and being loved by others, we need to equip ourselves with open, pliant minds; we need to be willing to investigate, experiment, and evaluate as we approach a topic we thought we knew so much about.
Love simply, perpetually exists and that it’s a matter of psychic housekeeping to make room for it.
Everyone we interact with has the capacity to surprise us in an infinite number of ways. What can first open us up to each of our innate capacities for love is merely to recognize that.
When we identify the thoughts that keep us from seeing others as they truly are we prepare the ground for real love.
It's tough to have an authentic relationship with awe in the age of awesome, a word that has become so overused as to be drained of its meaning.
Setting the intention to practice kindness toward one’s partner or family members or friends does not preclude getting angry or upset.
We exercise kindness in any moment when we recognize our shared humanity—with all the hopes, dreams, joys, disappointments, vulnerability, and suffering that implies.
It was the best start of the day. A day started with a rejection. Maybe, by the end of the day, I would spend the majority of my vitality making the thing occur all alone.Maybe, tonight would be distinctive.

Every night the dream that enamors me is the one about you and me.
~ Avijeet Das

I want to be by your side to watch you smile every second.The day you were born was a lucky day for so many people. You enrich my life so much and I love you more than you can imagine.. I wish I had the gift of making rhymes, for me thoughts, there is poetry in my head and heart since I have been in love with you.
~ Dr. Karan M Pai
We must believe in love, always!
With each embrace, I poured my soul into his, till his and mine were the same.
~ Meeta Ahluwalia
Love can be all things.But, Just never enough.
Just knowing that you are there and you would be thinking about me while I am thinking about you makes my heart feel serene and contented.
You are so adorable. You can never be bad. Everyone has a hysterical part in himself, and I may be that part you. I’m just a lunatic. Maybe, a demon. And you.You’re the world.
To appreciate pleasure, someone had to experience pain; to appreciate joy, some had to experience sorrow; to appreciate love, some had to experience heartache; to appreciate freedom, some had to experience fear.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Truth is straight like a line. Virtue is firm like a wall. Wisdom is tall like a mountain. Love is wide like an ocean.
All of our actions can signify self-love or self-sabotage
We are born ready to love and be loved. It is our birthright.
I think I need to take frequent breaks from kissing your body to return to your lips, kissing you feels so good.
~ J.y. Tacheva
I'd take off your clothes, fast enough to not give you time to reconsider, but gently, while kissing your lips.
It feels so right being in love.
~ Shaii
The paths carved by the divine carpenter into her palms are actually treasure maps showing the way to heaven.
Her neck - a swan’s neck, gracious and gentle, her breasts - two mountainous guardians over the valley of her generous heart.
Her legs are two rivers, and the delta where they bleed into each other is the well of ecstasy.
