Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down the dulcimer. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but Allah. Poverty unlocks the door - what a blessed key!

The rose does best as a rose. Lilies make the best lilies. And look! You - the best you around!

Look carefully around you and recognize the luminosity of souls. Sit beside those who draw you to that.

I don’t regret how much I love, and I avoid those who repent their passion.

I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.
