There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.
—Nelson Mandela
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.
—Thomas Merton
Just then, a huge wound opened in me.
You touched it. It closed.
I was filled, fully healed, and I knew
I would never be able not to love you.
You touched it. It closed.

I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.

All of created existence is drunk on the Heart
The entire cosmos is a toy in Its hands.
All the nine levels of the spheres of Heaven
Are only two short steps for the Heart.
