Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly and wants to rip to shreds all your erroneous notions of the truth that make you fight within yourself, dear one, and with others, causing the world to weep on too many fine days... The Beloved sometimes wants to do us a great favor: Hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, 'love lifts me.'

Woe to the dupe that yields to Fate!

Only a Perfect One who is always laughing at the word two can make you know of Love.

Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

Let tenderness pour from your eyes, the way sun gazes warmly on earth.

The small man builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dropping keys all night long For the beautiful rowdy prisoners.
