only when you love

Only when you love, you are truly and fiercely yourself.

thanks to darkness

You cannot Know yourself by looking at your shadow – have you noticed how the sky sees its face in the water and smiles? You think a cow does not have intelligence She actually does. That is why she says Moo when she joins with her calf in the evening – It is her way of saying – thanks to darkness I finally came home to my calf.

like rain

I am not interest in how you look or what kind of car you drive – I love to see how your entire body laughs when something deep touches you and how a dandelion blooms inside your sweet eyes – I love how you look at someone who comes to hurt you and then instead of playing a victim role, instead of taking it personally how your whole being wants to love even more deeply - remember beautiful things are not the ones that are planned- They are the ones that arrive suddenly like rain or new silence.

for your suffering

It is a beginning of true love when you give up the temptation to blame the world or someone else for your suffering.

inside this poem

You wanted to obey your parents So they can be proud of you – you wanted to be a good citizen and a successful man in the eyes of the world – and you walked away from your innocence, from the grace you have known with all of your heart – you run away from your authenticity and denied your true identity for survival – survival came first and your heart last- you became a good diplomat busy drawing boundaries and negotiating prices and counting profits we’re beyond survival my friend we’re the orchard that gives new fruits every day we are the sky the releases rain when needed - look how the splendor of the full moon can make us empty! So much has been said already – If we use language It can hide our true faces, the face that holds millions of other faces inside - silence is one of the many ways I can make this poem short – be still come back to your heart now.

fragrance of true love

People can come and go Situations can come and go feelings can come and go only the fragrance of true love can stay with you. Only presence can stay with you.

when you feel discouraged

Even when you feel discouraged and dismayed, instead of seeking support from outside, it helps to look inside and see the part of you that is whole, the region in you that is more delicious than a dark chocolate.
