Being desirable means being comfortable with your own ambiguity. The most ambiguous reality is that we are flesh and spirit at the same time. Within everyone there is light and shadow, good and evil, love and hate. In order to be truthful, you must embrace your total being. A person who exhibits both positive and negative qualities, strengths and weaknesses is not flawed, but complete.

O Beloved, where is the Beloved?

You are a fountain of the sun's light. I am a willow shadow on the ground. You make my raggedness silky.

The soul lives there in the silent breath.

Tomorrow you'll be brave, you say? Fool! Dive today.

Fasting is an amazing thing. It gives people heart and soul.

Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.
