Heart be brave. If you cannot be brave, just go. Love's glory is not a small thing.

Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.

From "Wetness and Water" How does a part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Do not try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire. Do not wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast you run, your shadow more than keeps up. Sometimes it's in front. Only full, overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you. What hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.

All Religions. All This Singing. One Song. Peace Be With You.

Contain all human faces in your own without any judgment of them

Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.

There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger.
