In the Bible she is called Wisdom, translated from the Greek word, Sophia. Whatever her temporal form, she is divine; she understands our humanity and her love is fierce enough to permeate flesh and bone.
“No Matter What
No matter what the world claims,
its wisdom always growing, so it’s said,
some things don’t alter with time:
the first kiss is a good example,
and the flighty sweetness of rhyme.
No matter what the world preaches
spring unfolds in its appointed time,
the violets open and the roses,
snow in its hour builds its shining curves,
there’s the laughter of children at play,
and the wholesome sweetness of rhyme.
No matter what the world does,
some things don’t alter with time.
The first kiss, the first death.
The sorrowful sweetness of rhyme.”
― Blue Horses

“It is very important that you only do what you love to do. you may be poor, you may go hungry, you may lose your car, you may have to move into a shabby place to live, but you will totally live. And at the end of your days you will bless your life because you have done what you came here to do. Otherwise, you will live your life as a prostitute, you will do things only for a reason, to please other people, and you will never have lived. and you will not have a pleasant death.”

“Part of what we have to learn in this time is to live out of pure trust, without any security for our existence, out of trust in the ever-present help from the spiritual world. Truly, there is no other way today if courage is not to sink.”
