Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Donβt grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
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.
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
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.
Let the beauty you love be what you do. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.
