love

I haven't been dreaming much lately. I think the reason is I haven't been sleeping in my dreamspace. Since Thursday I've been on friend's couches and floors.

So instead I'm posting a quote about love. Recently the idea of selfish vs. unselfish love came up. It came up in a phone conversation with a good friend of mine from high-school and it's in Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror which I've had on repeat for a couple days.
So, it's the theme of the weekend:

"Love is the one means that ensureth true felicity both in this world and the next. Love is the light that guideth in darkness, the living link that uniteth God with man, that assureth the progress of every illumined soul. Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the diverse elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms. Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless power the mysteries latent in the universe. Love is the spirit of life unto the adorned body of mankind, the establisher of true civilization in this mortal world, and the shedder of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and nation."
-Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha
