“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 79
When we end up together,
That's not an end, but the beginning.
It's division that ends all journey,
End division, ‘n life will have true beginning.
Century after century went on with division,
Yet unity is forever, division is nonexistence.
To breathe, eat, mate and sleep, ain't existence,
To help, heal, lift and light, that's existence.
We've got intellect, we've got sentiment,
All are useless if they don't help erase division.
Human is another name for undivision,
Not another synonym for discrimination.
To have 'n to hold, mustn't be a vow between just two.
Make it one among all, and soon unity will be true.”

“If you tell me a person cannot have multiple Twin Flames because you do not believe in more than one, I trust you will never argue with an atheist who tells you God doesn’t exist because he doesn’t believe in him.”
“In his case, the decisive factor was the study of Ancient Greek, made possible when in 1397 Salutati invited the preeminent Byzantine scholar Manuel Chrysolaras to reside in Florence and give classes in a language that had been almost completely forgotten. "At the coming of Chrysoloras," Bruni later recalled, "I was made to halt in my choice of lives, seeing that I held it wrong to desert law, and yet I reckoned it a crime to omit so great an occasion of learning the Greek literature." The lure proved irresistible: "Conquered at last by these reasonings, I delivered myself over to Chrysolaras with such passion that what I had received from him by day in hours of waking, occupied my mind at night in hours of sleep.”

“Be The Love Commandment (A Sonnet)
Instead of worrying about a fictitious judgment day,
Make your actual today a real nonjudgment day.
Instead of hoping for a fictitious heaven after death,
Make this world that you have an abode without hate.
Plenty of heart force we have wasted on fiction,
Plenty of attention we have placed on insecurity.
Now it's time to redirect our time and priorities,
It is time to be the valiant vanguards of reality.
I ain’t talkin’ about being chained to the reality,
Nor about keeping things the way they are for so long.
All I'm asking is, we pay attention to the now and here,
Instead of obsessing over tales from days long gone.
So, stand up to the tyrants as apocalypse incarnate.
Reach out to the needy as a living love commandment.”

“What’s It All About (The Sonnet)
What is this world all about!
What is this society all about!
What is this life all about!
What is our existence all about!
What are the roads all about!
What are the skyscrapers all about!
What are the bridges all about!
What are our feet all about!
What is science all about!
What is faith all about!
What is technology all about!
What is politics all about!
'Tis all about people and their welfare.
All notions to the contrary cause only despair.”
