Passion is present when a man can distinguish between the wine and the container. Two men see a loaf of bread. One hasn't eaten anything for ten days. The other has eaten five times a day, every day. He sees the shape of the loaf. The other man with his urgent need sees inside into the taste, and into the nourishment the bread could give. Be that hungry, to see within all beings the Friend.

You must ask for what you really want. / Don't go back to sleep. / The door is round and open. / Don't go back to sleep.

There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.

To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel.

Be silent. That heart speaks without tongue or lips.

Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.

I am the glorious sun, the ocean laden with pearls. Within my heart is the grandeur of heaven.
