“How many flee from one calamity into another; how many leap from the snake towards the dragon.”

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

Listen to the reed, how it tells a tale, complaining of separations.

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.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
