“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.”

“Your body is the harp of your soul and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds.”

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

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

“And how shall you rise beyond your days and nights unless you break the chains which you at the dawn of your understanding have fastened around your noon hour?”

“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.”

“And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.”
