I want that love that moved the mountains. I want that love that split the ocean. I want that love that made the winds tremble. I want that love that roared like thunder. I want...

İstediğin bir şey olmuyorsa ya daha iyisi olacağı için ya da gerçekten de olmaması gerektiği için olmuyordur.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I’ll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grassthe world is too full to talk about.

Be melting snow.Wash yourself of yourself.

Woman is the light of God.

Looking for Your FaceFrom the beginning of my lifeI have been looking for your facebut today I have seen itToday I have seenthe charm, the beauty,the unfathomable graceof the facethat I was looking forToday I...

Der Bettler ruft, um seine Not zu stillen,Der Fromme ruft um seiner Seele willen.

Know the true definition of yourself. That is essential.Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it.

I was dead, then alive.Weeping, then laughing.The power of love came into me,and I became fierce like a lion,then tender like the evening star.

You’re water. We’re the millstone.You’re wind. We’re dust blown up into shapes.You’re spirit. We’re the opening and closing of our hands. You’re the clarity.We’re the language that tries to say it.You’re joy. We’re all the...

And watch two men washing clothes,one makes dry clothes wet. The other makes wet clothes dry. they seem to be thwarting each other, but their work is a perfect harmony.Every holy person seems to have...

You erased my famine, unpicked my angerYour energy charges my voice, it radiates my heart;Now I am alive with the ore of words pouringFrom my lips like molten lava glittering with joy.

DesireI desire youmore than foodand drinkMy bodymy sensesmy mindhunger for your tasteI can sense your presencein my heartalthough you belongto all the worldI waitwith silent passionfor one gestureone glancefrom you

And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?

It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Bitter your acts, bitter am I,Kindness your deeds, kindness am I,Pleasant and gentle, so you are,Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.

Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.

I choose to love you in silence…For in silence I find no rejection,I choose to love you in loneliness…For in loneliness no one owns you but me,I choose to adore you from a distance…For distance...

You whispered softly in the ear of my joyous heart.You know what’s on my mind, you’ve heard my thoughts.I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.

Pull the thorn of existence out of the heart! Fast!For when you do, you will see thousands of rose gardens in yourself.

When I am with you, we stay up all night.When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.Praise God for those two insomnias!And the difference between them.

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.

The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as...

Shall I tell you our secret? We are charming thieves who steal hearts and never fail because we are the friends of the One.Blessed is the poem that comes through me but not of me...

Ich sehe Deine Schönheit ganz,schließ ich die Augen mein,Und schließ’ den Mund ich, trinke ichnur immer Deinen Wein.Verboten gilt mir das Gesprächmit Menschen in der Welt -Doch wenn von Dir gesprochen wird:lang wird mein Wort...

If I could repeat it,people passing by would be enlightened and go free.

Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!

You soak up my soul and mingle me. Each drop of my blood cries out to the earth. We are partners, blended as one.

There came one and knocked at the door of the Beloved.And a voice answered and said, ‘Who is there?’The lover replied, ‘It is I.”Go hence,’ returned the voice;’there is no room within for thee and...

In the silence of loveyou will find the spark of life

The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. Between the two remains the son of man to struggle.

You are an ocean in a drop of dew,all the universes in a thin sack of blood.What are these pleasures then,these joys, these worldsthat you keep reaching for,hoping they will make you more alive?

How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky...

Beauty surrounds us.

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

Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,no light and no land anywhere,cloudcover thick. I try to stayjust above the surface, yet I’m already underand living within the ocean.

Either give me more wine or leave me alone.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

I didn’t come here of my own accord, and I can’t leave that way.Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can’t hope.The hopers would feel slighted if they knew.

The cure for pain is in the pain.

Out beyond ideasof wrongdoing and rightdoing,there is a field.I’ll meet you there.

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided.” When a man looks at a star, and finds his way...

Inside you there’s an artist you don’t know about… say yes quickly, if you know, if you’ve known it from before the beginning of the universe.
