“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.”

“The brilliance of the moon, of fire,
the brilliance that flames from the sun
to illumine the entire world -
this brilliance in truth is mine.
Entering the earth, I support
all beings by my life-giving power:
becoming the nectar-filled moonlight.
I cause plants and herbs to thrive.”
― The Bhagavad Gita

“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.”
