Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.

Silence gives answers.

The interpretation that makes you ardent and hopeful and active and reverent is the true one.

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

Like a sculptor, if necessary, carve a friend out of stone. Realize that your inner sight is blind and try to see a treasure in everyone.

What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
