Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon; How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.
-
If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill let yourself fall ill.

You have been walking the ocean's edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under and deeper under, a thousand times deeper. Love flows down. The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes. Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that? Do not put blankets over the drum. Open completely.
-
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
-
Your misconceptions veil the holy. The Princess is naked beneath the surface of every form. Your boredom would vanish if you had more of a clue about the Reality I know.
-
Love is the religion, and the universe is the book.
-
Get yourself out of the way, and let joy have more space.
-
A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.
-
I said, “I just want to know you and then disappear.” She said, “Knowing me does not mean dying".

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential. Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.
-
Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you truly love. It will not lead you astray.
-
Each moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love. We are running to contemplate its vast green field. Do you want to come with us?
-
Every object, every being, is a jar full of delight.
-
Never lose hope, my heart, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.
-
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
-
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's ther.
-
For the thirst to possess your love, Is worth my blood a hundred times.
-
A heart filled with desire for sweetness and tender souls must not waste itself with unsavory matters.
-
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.
-
I am ashamed to call this love human and afraid of God to call it divine
-
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.
-
Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
-
When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.
