Quotes

Some of my favorites:

"Behold the One beholding you and smiling." It is precisely because we have such an overactive disapproval gland ourselves that we tend to create God in our own image. It is truly hard for us to see the truth that disapproval does not seem to be part of God's DNA. God is just too busy loving us to have any time left for disappointment. - From Tattoos on the Heart by Greg Boyle

"Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world, but people capable of giving them their attention." ~ Simone Weil

"Divine love is incessantly restless until it turns all woundedness into health, all deformity into beauty and all embarrassment into laughter." ~ Beldon Lane

"Find the real world, give it endlessly away, grow rich flinging gold to all who ask. Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance there with you--cheek to cheek."  ~ Rumi

Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them,
"Love me."
Of course you do not do this out loud;
Otherwise,
Someone would call the cops.
Still though, think about this,
This great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one
Who lives with a full moon in each eye
That is always saying
With that sweet moon
Language
What every other eye in this world
Is dying to
Hear

--Hafez
