We Have Not Come Here to Take Prisoners

Posted in Hafiz, Poetry, Spirituality on December 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

We have not come here to take prisoners, But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy. We have not come into this exquisite world To hold ourselves hostage from love. Run my dear, From anything That may not strengthen Your precious budding wings. Run like hell my dear, From anyone likely To put [...]

World was in the face of the beloved

Posted in Poetry, Rainer Maria Rilke, Spirituality on December 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

World was in the face of the beloved –, but suddenly it poured out and was gone: world is outside, world can not be grasped. Why didn’t I, from the full, beloved face as I raised it to my lips, why didn’t I drink world, so near that I could almost taste it? Ah, I [...]

Everybody secretly is an adventurer. Everybody loves the adventure. Just taking that first step – and once they have that moment of insight – that moment of insight carries a frequency, carries a message {and} the cells of the body are enlivened by possibility.
