Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore

American Writer, Poet, Essayist and Librettist

"To see a man in a state of realized, pure love is to see someone who's simplified everything."

"We want to live our lives as wise warriors and die as men. We may not even know what it is until the moments of our deaths. Then, the questions come. Have we worked to release another soul from pain? Have we opened a way that was once closed? Have we learned from the steeps and dips? Then we can rest assured that we have lived as men and died as warriors."
