“This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.”

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

“Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives.”

“I said, O Love, tell me this:Does the Lord know you are treating me this way?Love said to me,yes He does, just be totally…totally… silent”

“You have been walking the ocean's edge,holding up your robes to keep them dry.You must dive naked under and deeper under,a thousand times deeper. Love flows down. The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes.Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that?Do not put blankets over the drum.Open completely.”

“THIS TORTUREWhy should we tell you our love storieswhen you spill them together like blood in the dirt?Love is a pearl lost on the ocean floor,or a fire we can’t see,but how does saying thatpush us through the top of the head intothe light above the head?Love is notan iron pot, so this boiling energywon’t help.Soul, heart, self.Beyond and within thoseis one saying,How long before I’m free of this torture!”
