The sky was lit by the splendor of the moon
So powerful I fell to the ground 
Your love has made me sure 
I am ready to forsake this worldly life
and surrender to the magnificence of your Being

How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend’s hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.

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.

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly, not one.

Love is the cure, for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.

I am a painter,
Painting pictures all the time,
Yet when I set them near your beauty,
I want to throw them all away

You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure.
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it.
It’s too bad that you want to be someone else.
You don’t see your own face, your own beauty.
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky.
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops.
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the mighty ocean in a drop.

There is a strange frenzy in my head, of birds flying, each particle circulating on its own. Is the one I love everywhere?
