“What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.”

“From "Wetness and Water"How does a part of the world leave the world?How can wetness leave water?Do not try to put out a fireby throwing on more fire.Do not wash a wound with blood.No matter how fast you run,your shadow more than keeps up.Sometimes it's in front.Only full, overhead sundiminishes your shadow.But that shadow has been serving you.What hurts you blesses you.Darkness is your candle.Your boundaries are your quest.”

“Brother, stand the pain.Escape the poison of your impulses.The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do.Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping.That way a thorn expands to a rose.”

“You hurt and have sharp desire,yet your presence is a healing calm.”

“I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing”

“Judge the moth by the beauty of the candle”

“What matters is how quickly you do what your soul directs.”
