What is this precious love and laughter budding in our hearts? It is the glorious sound of a soul waking up!

Now is the time to understand That all your ideas of right and wrong Were just a child's training wheelsTo be laid aside When you finally live With veracity And love.

Do not surrender your grief so quickly Let it cut more deeply Let it ferment and season you As few human or divine ingredients can Something is missing in my heart tonight That has made my eyes so soft And my voice so tender And my need of God so absolutely clear.

When all your desires are distilled; You will cast just two votes: To love more, And be happy.

Your life within God's arms, Your dance within God's arms, Is already Perfect!

Grieve not because thou understand-not life's mystery; behind the veil is concealed many a delight.

I do not feel like writing verses; but as I light my perfume burner with myrrh and jasmine incense, they suddenly burgeon from my heart, like flowers in a garden.
