My friend, you thought you lost Him; that all your life you've been separated from Him. Filled with wonder, you've always looked outside for Him, and haven't searched within your own house.

Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.

Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.

Don't grieve for what doesn't come. Some things that don't happen keep disasters from happening.

If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

You knock at the door of Reality. You shake your thought wings, loosen your shoulders, and open.
