Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

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

Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I will meet you there.

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

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
