All I need are three things:
to be still,
know,
and look deeply.

This holy trinity makes one flower
into the whole of the universe;
it turns suffering into liberation
and pain into bliss.

Our end was written in our beginning,
A pillar of fire, a snake swallowing its tail:
The sacred dance must go on.

Destruction may leave us glowing,
But division will only fill us
With darkness.

When I am empty, then I am full.
Make me a servant, let me
Kneel in the ashes for the rest of my life.

Wherever your blistered feet pause,
There is the meeting place
Of all things.

In the last 5 years
I've found that
the antidote to nihilism is
to pass through
all the stages of grief:
that old reflection
of love.

The final stage of grief
can look like nihilism
from afar.
The difference is,
one leaves you with something,
the other leaves you with
less than nothing.

The whole of the cosmos
could fit inside a single teardrop:
the tear of a mother.
And we are all mothers of the world
after all.

All life arises only to perish;
all societies eventually die.
I think karma means universal justice.
We shall dance in the warm glow
of the awful grace of God.

Blessed are those who weep;
I am comforted by my tears.
There is beauty and peace in sorrow.
It is harder to do evil
when you're doubled over in grief.
