« Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring.

But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it. »
