When you travel,

A new silence

Goes with you,

And if you listen,

You will hear

What your heart would

Love to say.


A journey can become a sacred thing:

Make sure, before you go,

To take the time

To bless your going forth,

To free your heart of ballast

So that the compass of your soul

Might direct you toward

The territories of spirit

Where you will discover

More of your hidden life,

And the urgencies

That deserve to claim you.


John O'Donohue

Every child has known God,

Not the God of names,

Not the God of don'ts,

Not the God who ever does

Anything weird,

But the God who knows only 4 words

And keeps repeating them, saying:

"Come Dance with Me."

Come Dance.


Hafiz


You must give birth to your images.

They are the future waiting to be born...

Fear not the strangeness you feel.

The future must enter you

          long before it happens.

Just wait for the birth,

for the hour of new clarity.


Rainier Maria Rilke
