When a reader enters the pages of a book of poetry he or she enters a world where dreams transform the past into knowledge made applicable to the present and where visions shape the present into extraordinary possibilities for the future.

When we can't dream any longer we die.

The world is shaped by two things stories told and the memories they leave behind.

Why do you pray he asked me after a moment. Why did I pray A strange question. Why did I live Why did I breatheI dont know why I said even more disturbed and ill at ease. I dont know why.After that day I saw him often. He explained to me with great insistence that every question possessed a power that did not lie in the answer. Man raises himself toward God by the questions he asks Him he was fond of repeating. That is the true dialogue. Man questions God and God answers. But we dont understand His answers. We cant understand them. Because they come from the depths of the soul and they stay there until death. You will find the true answers Eliezer only within yourself And why do you pray Moshe I asked him. I pray to the God within me that He will give me the strength to ask Him the right questions.

The taste one gets of death in dreams I find more penetrating and atmospheric than the ordinary fear one might suffer while awake.

What am I to doWhat is my destinyI have no idea not a clueFeeling lost and empty.What is my dreamWhat is my futureI beg thee to listen to meI beg thee to answer.

The only thing limiting your aspiration is your imagination.

In periods of rapid personal change, we pass through life as though we are spell-cast. We speak in sentences that end before finishing. We sleep heavily because we need to ask so many questions as we dream alone. We bump into others and feel bashful at recognizing souls so similar to ourselves.

My dreams had to be His dreams the ones He placed in my heart. They couldnt be the ones I thought I should have or needed for the purpose of making other people like me.

Temptation is stronger in the minds of people who are in doubt. Prayer makes it weaker.
