"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find the person? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."

OPERATION i-SHIELD
The only authority I obey is the knowledge of guarding and acquiescing in the Natural Law of Justice . What justice does authority display when it kills the killer? When it imprisons the robber? When it descends on a neighborhood country and slays its people? What does justice think of the authority under which a killer punishes the one who kills, and a thief sentences the one who steals? Love is justice with its full intensity and dignity . If justice did not support my love for you, regardless of your tribe and community, I would be a deceiver concealing the ugliness of selfishness behind the outer garment of pure love. - Kahlil Gibran

" Have A Little Faith "
" In my life, there are things that I don't want to understand
I just breathe the moment, feel the moment,
and live the moment.
Coz at times, when understanding comes around
and I look back...
the moment just simply passes by---Life is fragile. "
- Marv Sabino -
Somebody feels hopeless
Somebody despairs
Somebody walks a path alone
Watching others walk around in pairs
Somebody's in the street now
Somebody's in doubt
Somebody has no place to go
Somebody cries out whispering the solidarity
Somebody is hungry
Somebody's in pain
Somebody sleeps alone in fear
Somebody's in shame
Somebody needs a friend to lean on
Somebody's not there
Somebody's looking at the end
Somebody's in prayer
"You're not alone...
You've never been; will never be..."
Somebody answered passionately.

" It takes a man to know another man,
but it takes a human to understand...
another human. "

The heart's love of truth is not a thought or an idea.
It is not a matter of trying to live according to an ideal.
It is not a motive that comes from the mind.
It is an impulse from the depth of the soul,
a deeply felt motive from the heart. It is not that we think
and deliberate and decide that truth is good for us,
so we end up wanting it. Love of the truth is not utilitarian.
The truth often ends up being utilitarian,
but that is not what inspires the right attitude for the journey.
The correct attitude is that of a lover...
who wants to be close to the Beloved.
- A. H. Almaas, Spacecruiser Inquiry, pg 126M
" Love is not blind -- it sees more, not less.
But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.. "
- Rabbi J. Gordon
Life is like a book, in the beginning,
it's full of empty pages waiting to be written.
Every person is a writer
but not all tells an intimate biography;
It is sad to know that most of us
don't see the priviledge of leaving a legacy---
an inspiring memoir of a person's existence.
To stop the sadness, I live my life knowing that
I only have one chance; one lifetime...
to write the greatest story ever told
because I believe that...
Life Is A Love Story."

" When you come to the edge of all the light you know,
and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen---
There will be something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly. "
~ Patrick Overton, Poet, Playwright, and Author
The truth is...we do not know what the future will bring us,
but, if there is any consolation to this uncertainty,
it is for us to remember that the future...
will be what we make in the present.
As of my part, no matter how bad... in the end,
I've done better than the man who didn't try!
There are only two ways a man can be beaten---Death or Giving Up.
Truth is in the sweats pouring out from our skin...
truth is in the ache bursting from within...
truth is in the tears we cry...
truth is YOU... and in you.
truth is a signature of your own distinctive SMILE.
It's not the breath that we take that measured LIFE...
but in what we do in the moments that take our breath away
which measured LIFE and that is the simple truth
... coz YOU exists in my life.

The following writers above
I strongly recommend reading their works... so,
pick up a book and dive-in to another world
beyond your eyes could see... and
discover the wonders of imagination... as it lets you...
enter the mind of a great writer leading your way out
with a wisdom that you can own...

Currently reading: A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY
Do not think that love,
in order to be genuine,
one has to be extraordinary.
What we need is to love
without getting tired.
What we are doing is nothing
but a drop in the ocean.
But if we didn't do it,
the ocean would be less
because of that missing drop.
I don't agree with...
the big way of doing things.
To me what matters is an individual.
To get to love the person,
we must come in close contact with him/her.
If we wait till we get the numbers,
then we will be lost in numbers.
And we will never be able to show
the LOVE and respect
for that person.
What are these...
drops of oil in our lamps?
The're the small things of daily life:
faithfulness,
punctuality,
small words of kindness,
a thought for others,
our way of being silent,
of looking of speaking,
and of acting.
These are the true drops of love.
Be faithful in small things
because it is in them...
that your strength lies.
We may wonder
whom Can I love and serve?
Where is the face of God
to whom I can pray?
The answer is simple.
That naked one.
That lonely one.
That unwanted one
is my brother and my sister.
If we have no peace,
it is because
we have forgotten
that we belong to each other.
There is a light in this world.
a healing spirit
more powerful than...
any darkness we may encounter.
We sometime lose sight of this force
when there is suffering,
and too much pain.
Then suddenly,
the spirit will emerge
through the lives of
ordinary people
who hear a call and answer
in extraordinary ways.
I see God in every human being.
When I wash the leper's wounds,
I feel I am nursing the Lord himself.
Is it not a beautiful experience?"
-- 1974 interview.
