I should be suspicious of what I want.
Live in the nowhere that you come from even though you have got an address Here.
If you only say one prayer in a day make it Thank You.
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love
There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there; seek inside.
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty; and wish to see you with a hundred eyes . . . I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
You know what love is? It is all kindness, generosity.
There's courage involved if you want to become Truth.
Now is the time to unite the soul and the world. Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows.
Lightning, your presence from ground to sky, no one knows what becomes of me, when you take me so quickly.
My head is bursting with the joy of the unknown. My heart is expanding a thousand fold.
A secret freedom opens through a crevice you can barely see.
