“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
― Paulo Coelho
This book was compiled with a single intention - to spread the message of unconditional love, as an eagle that spreads its wings soaring high above the mundane.
The mystical force of love often begins quite innocently enough from common infatuation, then suddenly thrusts the seeker into the turbulent flow of the soul’s ocean. Here, the sense of self is relentlessly tested by undulations that threaten to overpower. With patience and trust, the warrior who surrenders and withstands the harsh treatment arrives at a magical place - beyond concerns, egoic cravings, and revulsion, beyond the duality of right and wrong, constricting definitions, and ultimately beyond all suffering.
The poems included in this collection were written as a documentation on my path to such a place. May this work act as a beacon of light and hearten those who find within it a worthy signal on their own journeys.
With love,
Julia Yusupova
