About Love

Love is the root-force of all living and spirit. The source-energy leading towards differencation. The Love is free, has neither sex nor colour of skin Is not young nor old Has no confession nor is it member of any party Like art and poetry, love excites the interior of life. It is silent and speeks at the same time .

Suzanne Baumann, from the Notes to Live, 1985
