let the beauty we love be what we do

if your guidance is your ego, don't rely on luck for help. 

you sleep during the day and the nights are short. 

by time you wake up your life may be over

let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. 

someone sober will worry about events going badly. 

let the lover be

we come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust

you think the shadow is the substance

thirst drove me to the water where i drank the moons reflection. 

your task is not to seek for love, 

but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it

blessings are the petals that fall around you

outside the ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field

anything you lose comes round in another form

let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love

be grateful for whomever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond
