Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God; God is the sun.

For without you, I swear, the town Has become like a prison to me. Distraction and the mountain And the desert, all I desire.

I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow; I am all reason, all love, all soul, by your soul.

Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.

Keep your intelligence white hot and your grief glistening“ so your life will stay fresh.

Everything about yesterday has gone with yesterday. Today, it is needed to say new things.
