"Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom."

"I want to see you.Know your voice.Recognize you when youfirst come 'round the corner.Sense your scent when I come into a room you've just left.Know the lift of your heel,the glide of your foot.Become familiar with the way you purse your lipsthen let them part, just the slightest bit,when I lean in to your spaceand kiss you.I want to know the joy of how you whisper "more"

"Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words."

"My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there."

"If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?"
