Light outrage

“I know you're tired but come, this is the way...

In your light, I learn how to love. 
In your beauty, how to make poems. 
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, 
but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”   
“You and I have spoken all these words, but for the way we have to go, words are no preparation.
Let it dissolve in your ocean.
A mountain keeps an echo deep inside. That's how I hold your voice.”
“Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” 
Sorrow prepares you for joy. 
It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. 
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their 
place.”                                  

“You think you are alive
because you breathe air?
Shame on you, 
that you are alive in such a limited way.
Don't be without Love, 
so you won't feel dead.
Die in Love 
and stay alive forever

I want to know the joy 
of how you whisper 
“more”...                                                       ­  
When you go through a hard period,
When everything seems to oppose you,
... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute,
NEVER GIVE UP!
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!

The cure for pain is in the pain. 
In Silence, there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.
“Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.

Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.” 
“Keep walking, though there's no place to get to.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for human beings. Move within,
But don't move the way fear makes you move.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished ?

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you .

“Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. 
This universe is not outside of you. 
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want, 
you are already that.” 

“The lion is most handsome when looking for food.

Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.
Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.”                                          ―

“I was dead, then alive.
Weeping, then laughing.

The power of love came into me,
and I became fierce like a lion,
then tender like the evening star.”                  
“Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.
Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. 
It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair.. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.
“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth 
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep!

These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
You were born with potential. 
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. 
You were born with wings. 
You are not meant for crawling, so don't. 
You have wings. 
Learn to use them and fly
“Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.
"On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.”
