Love’s wealth arrived, And I became Everlasting fortune.’ -Rumi In the midst of life’s challenges, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by suffering. Yet, beyond this turmoil lies a profound peace that exists within the hearts of all. This inner sanctuary is not a fleeting state; rather, it is a timeless presence of all LOVE eternal that has been with us all-ways. This peace, is a LOVE that permeates our very existence. It is the quiet thread that connects our breaths, reminding us that we are never truly alone in our struggles. Even in the darkest moments, this love persists, offering solace and strength.
