“For a day, just for one day, talk about that which disturbs no one and bring some peace into those beautiful eyes.”

I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music.

Think of suffering as being washed.

The sun will stand as your best man And whistle When you have found the courage To marry forgiveness When you have found the courage to marry Love.

I am happy even before I have a reason.

Love is simply creation’s greatest joy.

Sing because this is a food our starving world needs. Laugh because that is the purest sound.

The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.

All your wounds from craving love Exist because of heroic deeds.

Only a Perfect One who is always laughing at the word two can make you know of Love.

Everyone, whether he is self-denying or self-indulgent, is seeking after the Beloved. Every place may be the shrine of love, whether it be mosque or synagogue.

Now is the time to understand That all your ideas of right and wrong Were just a child’s training wheels to be laid aside When you finally live With veracity And love.

When all your desires are distilled; You will cast just two votes: To love more, And be happy.

Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out into the vast fields of light…And let it breathe.

You have actually waltzed with tremendous style, my sweet, O my sweet, crushed angel.

The Earth would die If the sun stopped kissing her.

Be content with what thou hast received, and smooth thy frowning forehead, for the door of choice is not open either to thee or me.

A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.

I want you to know, that you deserve the best. You’re beautiful.

Desperate for answers, I go searching in the stars. I ask them: on a scale of one to catastrophe, how beautiful would they say we are?

Sometimes, a defeat can be more beautiful and satisfying than certain victories. The English have a point in insisting that it matters not who won or lost, but how you played the game.

My smile is my favorite part of my body. I think a smile can make your whole body. I want women to know that it’s ok. That you can be whatever size you are and be beautiful inside and out.

I used every color on my palette to bring you back to life. Now you paint the most beautiful rainbows in someone else’s skies.

I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.

I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.
