Oh, Wandering One, If You Are In Search Of The Greatest Treasure, Don't Look Outside. Look Within, And Seek That.

Greatest Treasure

Love Asks Us To Enjoy Our Life For Nothing Good Can Come Of Death. Who Is Alive? I Ask. Those Who Are Born Of Love. Seek Us In Love Itself, Seek Love In Us Ourselves. Sometimes I Venerate Love, Sometimes It Venerates Me.

Love Wills That This Word Be Brought Forth.
