I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart; Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
There is a place where words are born of silence.
Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
