The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

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

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.
