Love’s Power

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when in alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O, no, it is an ever fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken.

Shakespeare

Greeting & Adaab,

Love, undisputedly is the most talked about, sung about, written about subject. Love has inspired the best art and literature.But what is love? More….

Is love, the right of way to possession,or is it sacrifice? Does love demand control or does it mean submission?Does love give us the authority to customize or is it acceptance without the desire to do so?

Love is pursuit …not to acquire or achieve but to remain content even when the world falls apart.This is where love of the beloved and love of the divine come together just like we merge files of our documents.

For the love of Bard, Tee Zee Productions is collaborating with Brave Little

Company to bring the Shakespeare in American Communities program. If you

would like to bring Shakespeare-inspired plays to your schools or community

spaces, please reach out to Brave Little Company or Tee Zee Productions

Ramadan, the month of fasting, is around the corner. This month is observed by

Muslims all over the world to express our love to our creator, through sacrificing

worldly desires and focusing on the spiritual aspects of our faith. Wishing a

blessed Ramadan to everyone. I hope this month brings all of us closer to the

creator and turns us into more empathetic beings.
