Your Egypt

Reflections on Love by Ramzi Amine

We make promises out of either fear or true love. The promises we make out of fear we will break. The promises we make out of true love we keep.

It is impossible, if I truly love myself, that I hate any living being, because all hatred is ultimately a reflection of self-hatred, or of rejecting some part of myself .

Another word for the capacity to make an effort is stamina. In order to recall magnificent energies to spread love in the world, we need to do the right things that would increase our stamina.

Falling in love with life is falling in love with all the manifestations of life.

We are the universe in perpetual motion. We should try to be aware of each other ,
and to love one another, at each moment.

We are composed of two universes, the universe within us and the universe around us. Loving both universes is the be all and the end all of life. If we cannot love both universes we are not enjoying life. If we can love both universes we are enjoying life.

Without love human life cannot succeed - will not succeed.

If some women are more interested in astrology than astronomy, it is because women seek to make their love of the universe more personal.

Little was ever accomplished by a man or woman who loved and did not exert an effort to express his or her love in some form or another. To express love is as vital as to feel it within. The mere feeling is but the first step taken on a long and wonderful journey.

Commitment to love


Love’s destination, like the Kingdom of Heaven, is an inner destination. We do not necessarily have to travel to China to get to it. It is to be found right here, in a warm embrace with the truth. I am content, today, to be in love with love.

Love others as you would wish them to love you.

Once we have taken care of our basic necessities, the only virtue or skill that we need is the virtue or skill to love.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was love.

We will never be truly happy until we learn how to truly love.

We will never learn what we are here on this earth to learn until, first of all, we are clear about what we are here to learn. We are here to learn how to truly love.

We can only turn the world into a loving place by loving ourselves. We can only turn the world into a loving place by transforming ourselves into lovers.

We cannot make people love us by hating them. We can only make them love us by loving them. This is a paraphrasing of the words of an ancient sage and lover.

Poetry by mona Omar

Come Closer Love


Come closer love

Fill my days with sunshine

Shake off the cloak of sadness

Light all the candles

Let me swim in milk and honey

Let me bathe in fire

Cuddle my days

Hold on tight

Never let go

It's Over Wael Fawzi translated by Kawthar Sadeddin

True, It's Over
translated from Arabic by: Kawther Sadeddin


She uttered, "It's over"
Yes,
Yes, it's over
True, my tormentor,
It is over
As a beam devoured by darkness,
As innocent laughter lost in space,
As a creek entombed by the desert,
As two butterflies, one butterfly, deluded by fire
As the remnants of a scattered crystal ball
As a baby's heart assassinated upon birth
True, my beloved,
True,
It is over.

Fire and Ice The Pains of Love
By: Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)



Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Winky, very beautiful insights about love.
I like this one in particular:
Quote: We make promises out of either fear or true love. The promises we make out of fear we will break. The promises we make out of true love we keep.

Night Thoughts

Stars, you are unfortunate, I pity you,
Beautiful as you are, shining in your glory,
Who guide seafaring men through stress and peril
And have no recompense from gods or mortals,
Love you do not, nor do you know what love is.
Hours that are aeons urgently conducting
Your figures in a dance through the vast heaven,
What journey have you ended in this moment,
Since lingering in the arms of my beloved
I lost all memory of you and midnight.
Goethe

It is love that fashions us into the fullness of our being--not our looks,
not our work, not our wants, not our achievements, not our parents, not our status, not our dreams.
These are all the fodder and the filler, the navigating fuels of our lives, but it is love

: who we love, how we love, why we love and that we love which ultimately shapes us.



--Daphne Rose Kingma

Wild Nights

Wild nights. Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port
Done with the compass
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden.
Ah, the sea.
Might I but moor
Tonight with thee!

by Emily *beep*

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.

I love Thee

Thou art not near me, but I see Thine eyes
Shine through the gloom like stars in winter skies
Pointing the way my longing steps would go,
To come to Thee because I love Thee so.

Thou art not near me, but I feel Thine arm,
Soft folded round me, shielding me from harm,
Guiding me on as in the days of old
Sometimes life seems so dark, so dreary and so cold.

Thou art not near me, but I hear Thee speak,
Sweet as the breath of June upon my cheek,
And as Thou speakest I forget my fears,
And all the darkness, and my lonely tears.

O love, my love, whatever our fate may be,
Close to Thy side, or never more with Thee,
Absent or present, near or far apart,
Thou hast my love and fillest all my heart.

J D Heard.
