You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens..
Enough of these phrases, conceit and metaphors, I want burning, burning, burning..
Such a strong thing LOVE, changes everything..
Love is the water of life, jump into this water..
I said, O Love, tell me this: Does the Lord know you are treating me this way? Love said to me, yes He does, just be totally… totally… silent.
Physical existence is so cramped.We grow old and bent over like embryos.Nine months passes;it is time to be born. The lamb wants to graze green dayli….
There are lovers content with longing. I’m not one of them..
The moon has become a dancer at this festival of LOVE..
Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else..
You are the mirror of divine beauty..
I am your own voice echoing off the walls of God.
Were there no men of vision, all who are blind would be dead..
There's no cure, except the retreat into love, For the suffering of subtly afflicted hearts..
Your real "country" is where you're heading, not where you are..
Joy lives concealed in grief..
Have you ever gotten breathless before from a beautiful face, for i see you there, my dear..
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think..
Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is limitless, but it comes down according to the season..
The morning wind spreads its fresh smell. We must get up and take that in, that wind that lets us live. Breathe before it's gone..
God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes; eventually you will return to him..
I am so mad with love that mad men say to me - be still!.
