From divine tales to epic sagas to the timeless pages of literature, they are all paved with love stories that anchor themselves in your memory. They happen even now, quietly, somewhere around you. Are they rare? Of course. Are they ordinary? Certainly not.
Now, take away the villains, the tragedies, the grand betrayals — the list shrinks. The truth is that love without a villain rarely makes headlines, yet its quiet power is no less profound. And it remains just as rare.
Do you need love like that? Or is it merely a superficial pursuit? After all, not everyone sets out to become a billionaire; perhaps you don’t seek the “epic” either.
There is no denying that love is God’s magic, and making your love divine is your magic. I am somehow hooked on the concept that God does everything, and yet, somewhere, somehow, I must play my part on His behalf.
So how do you make your love divine — or at least a worthy anchor in your life?
It isn’t impossible. But if you are searching for “Step 1” and “Step 2,” you have already lost the way. The miracles of this universe defy dissection.
Love grows. It simply grows — with time, with presence, with the slow turning of ordinary days. We do not need to force it, though we almost always do. We push too hard in the beginning, mistaking early fire for lasting flame. That first surge carries us only so far before the momentum fades, and we find ourselves starting over.
Ordinary love is rare because we are so desperate to make it extraordinary from the very beginning. But ordinary love is effortless. Somewhere in the quiet journey, the carbon transforms and the diamond emerges. From then on, it is a diamond forever.
That is divine love.

During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
