In dreams begin responsibilitiy.

Where there is nothing, there is God.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Beloved, let your eyes half close, and your heart beat Over my heart, and your hair fall over my breast, Drowning love’s lonely hour in deep twilight of rest.

I am a book of snow, a spacious hand, an open meadow, a circle that waits, I belong to the earth and its winter.
