Although the road is never ending take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance... On this path let the heart be your guide for the body is hesitant and full of fear.
I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there
When someone is counting out gold for you, don't look at your hands, or the gold. Look at the giver.
Don't look for me in a human shape, I am inside your looking.
Look past your thoughts, so you may drink the pure nectar of This Moment.
God made the Illusion look Real and the Real an Illusion !
Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
I don’t know why; when I look at you, I see myself
I am so close, I may look distant.
I am so close, I may look distant. So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. So out in the open, I appear hidden. So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.
Rub your eyes, and look again at love, with love.
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Come into my eyes, and look at me through them, for I have chosen a home far beyond what eyes can see.
