“Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.”

Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.

The morning wind spreads its fresh smell. We must get up and take that in, that wind that lets us live. Breathe before it’s gone.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

We love that s why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.

If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.

Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

Your magnificence has made me a wonder. Your charm has taught me the way of love.

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.

The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.

No one can tell if I’m laughing or weeping.

I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.

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.

You’ve seen my descent, now watch my rising.

What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.
