“In order to hear love’s words, you must allow love to approach.

However when it draws near,  we fear what it might say to us, because love is free and is not ruled by our will or by what we do.

All lovers know this but refuse to accept it. They think they can seduce love through submission, power, beauty, wealth, tears and smiles.

True love, however, is the love that seduces and will never allow itself to be seduced.

Love transforms, love heals. But sometimes it lays deadly traps and ends up destroying the person who decided to surrender himself completely. How can the force that moves the world and keeps the stars in their places be at once so creative and devastating?”
