Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.

Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that

I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.

A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.

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.
