“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair”

“The earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”

“Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful. And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain. Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your rainment. For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind. Some of you say 'It is the north wind who has woven the clothes we wear.' And I say, 'Ay, it was the north wind, but shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread.' And when his work was done he laughed in the forest. Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean. And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind? And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”

“And if it is for your comfort to pour your darkness into space, it is also for your delight to pour forth the dawning of your heart.”

“Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.”

“You who travel with the wind, what weather vane shall direct your course?”

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself”
