Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I'll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grassthe world is too full to talk about.
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.
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.
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.
A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.
This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one
Is it really so that the one I love is everywhere?
I am yours.Don't give myself back to me.
Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being.
You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you,but sometimes I do, and thatsight becomes this art.
To live without youis to be robbed of loveand what is life without it?To live without youis death to me, my lovebut some call it life.
Soul, if you want to learn secrets, your heart must forget about shame and dignity. You are God's lover, yet you worry what people are saying.
This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.
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?
Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.
Be melting snow.Wash yourself of yourself.
We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
Anyone who knows me, should learn to know me again;For I am like the Moon,you will see me with new face everyday.
Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.
Woman is the light of God.
The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.
Do not seek water, get thirst.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I'll meet you there.
Lovers find secret placesinside this violent worldwhere they make transactions with beauty.
I will soothe you and heal you,I will bring you roses.I too have been covered with thorns.
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.
Are you jealous of the ocean's generosity?Why would you refuse to givethis love to anyone?Fish don't hold the sacred liquid in cups!They swim in the huge, fluid freedom.
This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.I don't plan it.When I'm outside the saying of it,I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
A wealth you cannot imagineflows through you.Do not consider what strangers say.Be secluded in your secret heart-house,that bowl of silence.
It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.
A donkey stuck in mud is logic's fateLove's nature only love can demonstrate
If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.

Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less.Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.
There are no enemies, just hurting people.
Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
What is the Heart? A flower opening.
