Even after all these years,
the Sun never says
to the Earth
“You owe Me.”

Look what happens
with a Love
like that,
It lights
the whole
sky.

–Hafiz

“Sometimes I go about pitying myself,
and all the time
I am being carried on great winds across the sky.” 

– Chippewa song

“Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.” –Ram Dass (by way of Rob Brezsny)
