Reading poetry is like undressing before a bath. You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.

Why do you feel so powerless? Go spend an hour with ants. Each of those black specks you see is a life. One whole life that you can save, take, or affect in some way. You have the power to make so many lives better. It is within you. Don’t lose sight of that.

Speak to me: I will spend my lifetime trying to understand you.

If today is not your day, then be happy for this day shall never return. And if today is your day, then be happy now for this day shall never return.

You want to become a better person?Just give thanks. Give thanks for all of it.

Embrace contradictions for they make upall of life:You will eternally be looking for yourself andseeking ways to lose yourself.

The more we surrender to what cannot be, the better we control what can be.

We all have the ability to make someone's life better with our love.

Because you have been blessed with the gift of life, it is your duty to help others. We are all responsible for one another.
