Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears; if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.

The only thing that will keep you from finding that which you seek is calling off the search.

Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure.

Poems are rough notations for the music we are.

Love asks us to enjoy our life For nothing good can come of death. Who is alive? I ask. Those who are born of love. Seek us in love itself, Seek love in us ourselves. Sometimes I venerate love, Sometimes it venerates me.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
