1. Welcome to this inspiring book launch A provocative journey of transcendence into divine love.

2. Inspired with a gracious heart to my beloved Branden & gratitude for your amazing photography.

3. THE JOURNEY Loveme, believe in me, & you will see the truth of who you really are; That which is love. Where else would you rather be?

4. As I lay surrendered I give to the God of Love My heart overflows like rivers to the oceans In this moment, I am everything, yet nothing I am free.

5. This love is so beautiful that to embrace it, To allow grace to find a home in my soul, To love you and be loved by you. I would have to love myself…. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful love.

6. My heart aches for that which I have not touched today. My soul is guiding me, but I cannot hear the words it is saying. I am clouded in this longing for love within myself But it is you I crave.

7. THE WISDOM OF THE SOUL Flow with life, be with life. Live your life without boundaries. This will not define you, this will set you free.

8. Be still, listen and you will hear the serenade that your soul is singing.

9. There are moments in your life that will move through you like the ebb of the ocean, in and out with the tides. Stop arguing with yourself, all is perfect, all is divine. It is a timeless wait, then divinity arrives, the yearning subsides and you have peace.

10. Stop Searching for the God, God is before you. Open your eyes from blindness and only then will you exist.

11. I am completely in awe of my existence. Everyday is a miracle. Every breath I take is a moment created in life, when magic happens, and I am rendered speechless.

12. Your heart is an open channel, moving naturally with the flow of life. Complete in the circle of evolution, yet physically this life is not finished for this magnificent child of God. Being is a part of the existence; existing becomes a way of being. Then without warning a new journey erupts like fireworks. Joy fills your body like bubbles, overflowing as the elixir of life becomes blissful, and for a moment you remember how to live!

13. THE HEART OF MY BELOVED…. My inspiration, my muse. I open up my heart full of grace and gratitude for the love you give. I am humbled and blessed with this experience of loving you. I have been given a gift, the gift of joy. And in the vision of love when I lose myself in your eyes, I see eternity, I see unity. I see the oneness of you and me.

14. I am in awe of your beauty as a man with whom I long to share my body, mind & soul. I am touched by your gracious embrace & I am humbled by the experience of loving you.

15. I am mesmerized by the passion I see in your eyes. An incredible man stands before me, yet there is a vulnerability in his heart. Every moment shared is truly a beautiful manifestation of what we both long for. If I could take your suffering and pain to give you an everlasting moment of love. I would graciously share this with you.

16. This is ecstasy, this is utopian bliss, this is an ocean of unconditional love. The orgasm of me within you and you within me. Where all we need do is BREATHE….

17. Retreat, retreat, retreat. The soul is yearning for quietude, solitude, aloneness, a oneness with God. Resting in the sacred house of love. Providing a safe place to find stillness amidst the chaos of life. My temple, the altar of all I believe, keeps my trembling heart grounded, knowing that the temporary madness will cease when my soul, My gracious heart can retreat.

18. Is this it? I cry out. Is my only purpose here to love? YES! Where is the greatness in loving you? I ask of God. In the moment you realize love is your only gift of survival. It can never be taken from you, you must give of love first. It will never die with you, it is the life force that continues long after your physical being has gone. It never leaves you, as your soul will perish without love. Even though you may exist, how will you immerse yourself in the beauty and drama of life if you cannot feel love. How can you truly live if you have not love?

19. Shanti, Shiva, Shakti, Maya. With every breath of God and through the destruction of all that ever was. Whatsoever you believe and the illusion of all there is, only one truth remains. When the walls have been knocked down, the chains have been broken, and the door to your heart has been unlocked, everything you are searching for is before you. Go deeper within and you will see the greatest love of all is God within you. You have the universal key. Ham Sa.

20. My happiness is the religion of me!

21. Every cell of my body, every fibre of my being wants to drown in the greatness of this love. Let me swim, let me dive to new depths of loving you. Let me be a channel of grace A seeker of truth.

22. Your heart desires a true manifestation of lasting love. To be loved unconditionally, you must embrace unconditional love and accept that within yourself. In this you will find the essence of all pain and suffering, the mirror of revelations. The soul will know and the heart will bleed – free from all expectation and only then will you have transcended the need for love, and the manifestation of lasting love will have become divine!

23. My beloved, I have surrendered completely into your divine will, and my heart is at the mercy of your request, knowing only that a life without unconditional love is no life at all. Loving you is loving me, knowing you, is knowing me. In this, I have eternal joy and everlasting peace.

24. As we meet, I hunger for the intimacy I have shared. My chest lay open and my heart revealed as I give completely to this love. I taste you, I touch you and now I have seen you. I cry in ecstasy as I surrender into you. Then I realize that, in this moment. I have been loved by God.

25. Experience a miracle. Look closely at yourself, and you will see the greatest miracle of all….

26. A new dawn, a new day, a new earth, a new way of being. Let go of all fear, and immerse yourself in a fragrant bath of love. Drown yourself and you will be reborn into a love so precious. The light that shines from your soul is the reflection of God smiling at you.

27. Don’t live a repressed life, otherwise you live not at all.Live a life of expression, creativity and joy.

28. BELOVED…. I give to you without condition, and I embrace you with complete acceptance Of the magnificent being you emanate to me. I pray that you always know God and be inspired by your own passion to dance your dance of love, And give of your radiance, opening doors for others to realize their truth. I LOVE YOU WITH EACH BREATH OF GOD…. Copyright 2009 - Branden Moon Photography 0405 369 149
