No one looks back and regrets leaving this world. What's regretted is how real we thought it was.

Trade your cleverness for bewilderment.

Nothing can nourish the soul but LIGHT. Rid yourself of material needs and be set FREE.

Flowers open every night across the sky, a breathing peace, and sudden flame catching.
Live life as if its rigged in your favor.
I belong to the beloved. Have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know. ...First, Last, Outer, Inner, only that breath breathing. HUMAN BEING.
Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
My souls sits in silence, and then asks again, where are you in all of this?
Things are such that someone lifting a cup, or watching the rain, petting a dog, or singing, just singing - could be doing as much for this universe as anyone.
