If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.

God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.

Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down all our dead branches; yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

How distant I am from people when I am with them, and how close when they are far away.

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
