Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall and falling, they're given wings.
If only you knew what bliss I find in being nothing.

My friend, you thought you lost Him; that all your life you've been separated from Him. Filled with wonder, you've always looked outside for Him, and haven't searched within your own house.

Friend, our closeness is this: anywhere you put your foot, feel me in the firmness under you.
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
