Quatrain #82 (circa 1250 A.D.)
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the earth.

Quatrain #1246
The minute I heard my first love story
I began searching for you, not knowing
how foolish that was.
True lovers are not out there somewhere,
but in each other all along.

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
