OSHO Waking Times Love is risky. To love is to move into danger-because you cannot control it, it is not safe. It is not within your hands. It is unpredictable. Somehow, from the very childhood, we are being crippled. Our roots with the heart are cut. We are forced towards the head and we are …

Andrew Beale, AlterNet Waking Times No one ever asks me why I don’t shoot heroin. Everyone in my circle intuitively understands that heroin is extremely destructive.
