1. Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze,
but as they sway, they connect at the roots.
2. Be fair. Admit that love has in it All the righteousness we need.
3. Dance, when you're open.Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.
4. Love lit a fire in my chest, and everything that wasn't love left:
intellectual subtlety, philosophy books, school.All I want now to do or hear is poetry.
5. Don't pretent to know something you haven't experienced.Try something different. Surrender.
6. Any cup I hold fills with wine that lovers drink.Every world I say opens into mystery.
Any way I turn I see brilliance.
7. We have borrowed these clothes.these time and place personalities,from a light,
and when we praise, we're pouring them back in.
8. The soul: a wide listening sky
With thousands of candles.
9. There is a kind of food not taken in through the mouth:
Bits of knowing that nourish love.
The body and the human personality form a cup.
Every time you meet someone, something is poured in.
10. Walk to the well.
Turn as the earth and moon turn,circling what they love.
Whatever circles come from the center.
11. Yesterday the beauty of early dawn came over me,
and I wondered who my heart would reach toward.
Then this morning again,
and you.
12. Only union with you gives joy.
The rest is tearing down one building to put up another.
13. The most alive moment comes
when those who love each other meet each other's eyes
and in what flows between them.
