Quote
The illusion of ‘I’ is that you think you are ‘I’ while you are only ‘am’; and that ‘am’ is the first person singular of the verb ‘to be’. Since, for ‘to be’ you don’t need to say ‘I’, but for to say ‘I’ you need ‘to be’, thus you are prior to ‘I’ as ‘am’, and that ‘am’ is ‘to be’; therefore, to that note, on the ocean of ‘am’ alone, ‘I’ is only a wave.

Quote
My poems are my prayers for my Love,And in this way only,I have chosen to worship Him in this life.O you, witness of my joys,And follower of my madness.Will you read them aloud every time,So may He hear my grievances,That how much I have yearned Him in this life.

If there is ambrosia in this world,Then it is your kiss,It is your kiss,It is your kiss.If there is alchemy in this world,Then it is your touch,It is your touch,It is your touch.If there is magic in this world,Then it is your face,It is your face,It is your face.If there is wonder in this world,Then it is your smile,It is your smile,It is your smile.If there is perfection in this world,Then it is you,It is you,It is you.If there is truth in this world,Then this is it,This is it,This is it.

Wisdom of enlightenment,Many come asking for,But I wonder, how to convey,The sound that is of a rain,And the song that is of a river.
