separation

You cannot force things apart that are bound at the heart.

We are often insane with happiness. We are also very unhappy for reasons neither of us can do anything about. Like being separated.

Always remember that you were once alone, and the crowd you see in your life today are just as unecessary as when you were alone.

Contradictions are the impossible chasms that create forever separations. God is the forever bridge that creates impossible reunions.

I think it must be one of those things where no one__ wrong and everybody loses.

Your partner may have injuries that you can't repair. Your partner may be trapped in a dark room without windows. Your life narrative might bring him more relief than an opiate. Some people make better windows than windows. Your kind words and enlightened perspective is a window of wonders to someone living in pain.pg 43

I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.

If you think that your partner has been cheating, then take a look at their will. If a past lover is in there, then it is probable that some form of infidelity has occurred.

A man always finds it hard to realize that he may have finally lost a woman's love, however badly he may have treated her.

At one point in my life you'll have my best but not my whole.

The flesh covers the bones, and makes the spirit naked.

You know that saying about how you don__ know what you have until it__ gone? I already did know what I had, and now that she__ gone, I know even more.

We are like puzzle pieces who are perfectly suited to make a giant picture together, but we are assembling ourselves in the dark.

I am isolated. I sit in a glass ball, I see people through a glass wall. I scream, but they do not hear me.- Ellen West

The time we need in order to heal our wounds and finally manifest our deepest dreams is only as long as the gap between two thoughts. These are thoughts in polarity, such as separation and unity, conflict and peace, misery and joy, hate and love, etc. Since as human beings we are all capable of experiencing both thoughts, the only skill we need to develop involves mastering the GAP.

We are never separated. Our hearts are connected with a threadless garland called love.

I was in awe of the mystery of human compassion and the inability of love to make the distance between us any more bearable.

To be grounded in an attitude of compassion is to be capable of receiving and welcoming the suffering, which the other is giving us. This does not mean that we suffer for them, but that we offer them possibility of going beyond the separate self in which suffering is harbored. (59)
