“All people are children
When they sleep.
There’s no war in them then.
They open their hands
And breathe
In that quiet rhythm
Heaven has given them.
.
They pucker their lips
Like small children
And open their hands halfway,
Soldiers and statesmen,
Servants and masters.
The stars stand guard
And a haze veils the sky,
A few hours when no one
Will do anybody harm.
.
If only we could speak
To one another then
When our hearts
Are half-open flowers.
Words like golden bees
Would drift in.
- God, teach me the language of sleep.”

“Do you fall in love often?”
.
“Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.”

“In the end
It was the walking
That made all the difference.
It took arriving,
Always arriving,
To finally understand
That it was never about
Where I ended up,
But only how I got there.
I hope I never get
To where I am going.”

“What haunts us
Is not the silly ghosts
Or the spirits
Or the demons
That we have been told of
When we were younger.
What haunts us,
What truly haunts us,
To the point
Of trembling hands,
Quivering feet,
And frightened lungs:
Is the heart wrenching fear
Of never making sense
To another human
Being.”

“Just lying on the couch
And being happy.
Only humming a little,
The quiet sound in the head.
Trouble is busy elsewhere
At the moment,
It has so much to do in the world.
.
People who might judge
Are mostly asleep;
They can’t monitor you all the time,
And sometimes they forget.
When dawn flows over the hedge
You can get up and act busy.
.
Little corners like this,
Pieces of Heaven left lying around,
Can be picked up and saved.
People won’t even see
That you have them,
They are so light and easy to hide.
.
Later in the day you can act like others.
You can shake your head.
You can frown.”

“Over the land freckled
With snow half-thawed
The speculating rooks
At their nests cawed
And saw from elm-tops,
Delicate as flowers of grass,
What we below could not see,
Winter pass.”
.

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days...Lightly, lightly - it’s the best advice ever given me...to throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling...”

“We
Are the silver lining
In any and every dark cloud
We could ever find.
There is no need
To go looking
For the light
When you bring it
With you.”

The art of being
A beautiful and mysterious woman.”

“We are torn between nostalgia
For the familiar
And an urge for the foreign and strange.
As often as not,
We are homesick most
For the places we have never known.”

“The most important step a man can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.”

“There are days
Where all I wish
Is that I
Could crawl into
A cocoon
Close my eyes tight
And after the wind
Is done trying it’s very best
To knock me down from
My branch,
Crawl back out
As something
So much
More
Than I ever was
Before.”
