“Come, friends.
Come with your grief.
Come with your loss.
Carry all the pieces of your heart
and come sit with us.
Bring your disappointments
and your failures.
Bring your betrayals
and your masks.
We welcome you no matter
where you come from
and what you bring.
Come and join us
at the intersection of
acceptance and forgiveness
where you will find our
house of love.
Bring your empty cups
and we will have a feast.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“You have no choice. You must leave your ego on the doorstep before you enter love.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“إن البياضَ الوحيدَ الذي نرتجيه
البياضَ الوحيدَ الذي نتوحدُ فيهْ:
بياضُ الكفن!”

“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”
― Benjamin Franklin
