Give your life to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.
Before death takes away what you are given, give away what there is to give.
Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the Ocean.
I Wish I Could Give You A Taste Of The Burning Fire Of Love. There Is A Fire Blazing Inside Of Me. If I Cry About It, Or If I Don’t, The Fire Is At Work, Night And Day.
Silence gives answers.
No better love than love with no objective, no more satisfying work than work with no purpose. If you could give up tricks and cleverness, that would be the cleverest trick!
It's no good giving my heart and my Soul because you already have these. So I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
LOVE is what gives joy to giving joy.
Dancing is when you rise above both worlds, tearing your heart to pieces & giving up your soul
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. "I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there."
A generous friend gives life for a friend let's rise above this animalistic behavior and be kind to one another
You have been walking the ocean's edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under and deeper under, a thousand times deeper. Love flows down. The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes. Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that? Do not put blankets over the drum. Open completely.
Fasting is an amazing thing. It gives people heart and soul.
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
