“É preciso ter coragem para sustentar o êxtase na relação, o que
significa sustentar o coração aberto enquanto o outro também está
aberto. A conexão da energia sexual com o coração pode causar medo, pois
ela gera uma poderosa onda de luz e, estando identificado com a sombra
(com os círculos viciosos do sofrimento), você teme ser tocado pela luz.
A escuridão é somente ausência de luz. Se você acredita ser a
escuridão, quando a luz surge, você teme ser aniquilado.”

"It takes courage to sustain ecstasy in a relationship, which means sustaining an open heart while the other’s heart is also open. When our sexual energy connects with our hearts, it can bring up fear because this connection generates a powerful wave of light. If we are identified with the shadow and its vicious cycles of suffering, then we fear being touched by the light. If we believe that we are the darkness itself, then we fear being annihilated when the light approaches us. Darkness is merely the absence of light.”

Via Daily Dharma: What Giving Is
Generosity
takes many forms—we may give our time, our energy, our material
possessions, our love. All are expressions of caring, of compassion, of
connection, and of renunciation—the ability to let go. The beauty of
generosity is that it not only brings us happiness in the moment—we feel
good when we give—but it is also the cause for happiness to arise in
the future.
