“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”
"Only sweet-voiced birds are imprisoned.
Have you ever seen owls being kept in cages?"
"I do not exist, am not an entity in this world or the next,did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story.
My place is the placeless, a trace of the traceless. Neither body or soul.
I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner,only that breath breathing human being."
"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."
"You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So- I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me."
