Every object and being in the universe is a jar overflowing with wisdom and beauty,a drop of the Tigris that cannot be contained by any skin. Every jarful spills and makes the earth more shining, as though covered in satin... Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

The Heart that is not in love will fail the test.

Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.

Now is the time to unite the soul and the world. Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows.

Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.

And don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous.
