The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.

Seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
In the Friend-place nothing true can be said. Let Me Just Be Here.
The work of magic is this, that it breathes and at every breath transforms realities.
My longing for you keeps me in this moment My passion gives me courage

You are the drop,and the ocean you are kindness,you are anger, you are sweetness,you are poison. Do not make me more disheartened. you are the chamber of the sun, you are the abode of venus, you are the garden of all hope. Oh, Beloved, let me enter.
You have forgotten the One who doesn't care about ownership, who doesn't try to turn a profit from every human exchange.
