Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you.

Do thou smile like the rose at loss and gain; For the rose, though its petals be torn asunder, Still smiles on, and it is never cast down.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. In the depths there is a spring with all the water your heart is thirsty for.

You know the value of every article of merchandise, but if you don't know the value of your own soul, it's all foolishness.

Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.

Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?

I will be waiting here.... For your silence to break, For your soul to shake, For your love to wake!
