Kindle in thy heart the flame of love.

The core of the seen and unseen universe smiles, but remember smiles come best from those who weep. Lightning, then the rain-laughter.

Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.

Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.

Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.

I don't want learning, or dignity, or respectability. I want this music, and this dawn, and the warmth of your cheek against mine.
