Be of good courage all is before you, and time passed in the difficult is never lost...What is required of us is that we live the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us.

Why don't you conceive of God as an ally who is coming, who has been approaching since time began, the one who will someday arrive, the fruit of a tree whose leaves we are? Why not project his birth into the future, and live your life as an excruciating and lyrical moment in the history of a prodigious pregnancy?

I prayed to rediscover my childhood, and it has come back, and I feel that it is just as difficult as it used to be, and that growing older has served no purpose at all.

Deeply I go down into myself. My god is Dark and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.

If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.

There are moments in which a rose is more important than a piece of bread

Fame, that public destruction of one in process of becoming, into whose building-ground the mob breaks, displacing his stones.
