There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .

Don't put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.

Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.

Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.

Love is the energizing elixir of the Universe, the cause and effect of all Harmony.

Listen to the sound of waves within you.

Don't make the body do what the spirit does best, and don't put a big load on the spirit that the body could easily carry.
