Don Miguel Ruiz ...

The only way to master love is to practice love ...
You don’t need to justify your love ...
You don’t need to explain your love ...
You just need to practice your love ...
Practice creates the master ...

Sherrilyn Kenyon ...

It’s easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past ... But you’d be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides ... What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight ... And more often then not, it’s lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul ...

The love, compassion and burden of the faithful ...

Put every great teacher together in a room ...
And they'd agree about everything ...

Put their disciples in there ...
And they'd argue about everything ...

Chech it ...

Madonna ...



“He was one of the few people I was truly envious of”

“But he didn’t know how good he was and he was plagued with insecurities ... He used to say he was jealous of me because music is more accessible and it reached more people ... He loathed the idea that art was appreciated by an elite group ... When I heard that Jean-Michel had died, I was not surprised ... He was too fragile for this world”

This commercial isn't real ...
Neither are society's standards of beauty ...
The beginning of forever ... Forever the beginning
Father your sons ... And don't EVA ... EVA EVA leave your daughters behind
Spread the pandemic of love
Once upon a time, once was enough
If you don't know yourself before you get into it ... Chances are, you'll lose yourself in it
It is imperative that we dream
Never hurt the heart that loves you
Tell her that you're a slave to her love ... But you're still broke as a joke ... Cause minimum wage replaced slavery
Understand the clock will never rewind
Opening your heart is a dangerous and liberating experience at the same time
Trust is a journey
Listen to the ocean inside you
Wish I bled more quietly
Try life with a Living God
I know that I don't love you ... I also know that I could love you
Some dance to remember ... Some dance to forget
The beast in the beauty
Some people don't realize ... That we have lives and things to attend to ... Outside of their requests
Sometimes music wants to tell me how to feel ... And I let it
It doesn't heal me to see you hurt
Everyone deserves a real love letter in their lifetime
Youth ... And all the lies we mistook for truth #JafarAlamPoetry

Rumi ...

I’ve written my heart’s story on my face until it bled ...
My lover sees the writing ...
But the words remain unread ...

Imam Ali ...

The best form of devotion to the service of God ...
Is not to make a show of it ...

By Jafar Alam ...

Prayer is not based on physical motions ... Dua's are not magical formulas ... And God is not a ritual nor an Arab
