In fact, I am aware of the fake entities in my life. I know that I can clear them if I wanted to in a moment. But all this hollowness Needs my Sincerity.
Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.
Love is reckless; not reason. Reason seeks a profit. Loves comes on strong, consuming herself unabashed. Yet in the midst of suffering love proceeds like a millstone, hard surfaced and straight forward. Having died to self interest, she risks everything and asks for nothing. Love gambles away every gift God bestows. Without cause God gave us Being; without cause give it back again. Gambling yourself away is beyond any religion. Religion seeks grace and favor, but those who gamble these away are God's favorites, for they neither put God to the test nor knock at the door of gain and loss.
There is nothing I want but your Presence. In friendship, time dissolves.
Reality is blocked by form and image.
Whatever you are looking for can only be found inside of you.
When love first tasted the lips of being human, it started singing.
When I am silent, I fall into the place where everything is music.
Open your hands if you want to be held.
Thirst drove me down to the water where I drank the moon's reflection.
A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
Do not look back, No one knows how the world ever began. Do not fear the future, Nothing lasts forever. If you dwell on the past or future, You will miss the moment.
The Earth turns to Gold, in the hands of the wise.
Beyond what we wish and what we fear may happen we have another life, as clear and free as a mountain stream.
