Don't you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.
Patience is the key to joy.
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.

Everything that you want, you are already that.
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Let soul speak with the silent articulation of a face.
