Quote by Robert Duncan

“Among my friends love is a great sorrow. It has become a daily burden, a feast, a gluttony for fools, a heart's famine. We visit one another asking, telling one another. We do not burn hotly, we question the fire. We do not fall forward with our alive eager faces looking thru into the fire. We stare back into our own faces. We have become our own realities. We seek to exhaust our lovelessness.”

“What does the beautiful stories tell? If you can't believe them But love is the most beautiful art in existence Maybe you can feel it or leave it But you can't avoid it Wherever you go Wherever you hide He will find you and make you feel it as deeply as he can. As if it were the last thing in the universe Don't believe everything they tell you Other people's story isn't yours The life of others isn't yours The traumas of others aren't yours Because the experience is to avoid following the same steps But love, Love will always be what keeps this planet under gravity Gravity doesn't support the lack of it Gravity doesn't support fear What supports fear is unloving Don't put your pains in response to what love means Perhaps fear didn't allow them to love Maybe the other didn't know how overwhelming it is to love But you are strong, as strong as the winds that blow at the highest heights You are a divine, vibrant, uplifting being Your forces show it And when the time comes Lift your head to the sky and see how amazing creation is Look in the mirror and see the beauty that inhabits existence And don't forget That love is the strongest force and that you are the result of pure work Coming from the heaven Ready to love.”
