Let there be spaces in your togetherness And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each others cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous but let each one of you be alone Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts but not into each others keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together For the pillars of the temple stand apart And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.

If you love somebody let them go for if they return they were always yours. If they dont they never were.

When you pray you rise to meet in the air those who are praying at that very hour and whom save in prayer you may not meet.

Yesterday is but todays memory and tomorrow is todays dream.

Our God who art our winged self it is thy will in us that willeth.It is thy desire in us that desireth. It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights which are thine into days which are thine also. We cannot ask thee for aught for thou knowest our needs before they are born in us Thou art our need and in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.

When you were a wandering desire in the mist I too was there a wandering desire. Then we sought one another and out of our eagerness dreams were born. And dreams were time limitless and dreams were space without measure.

if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer she should spur you again and yet again though weeping until you shall come laughing

You pray in your distress and in your need would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
