“To see you naked is to recall the Earth.”
― Federico García Lorca

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
― Rumi

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
― Rumi

“You, darkness, of whom I am born- I love you more than the flame that limits the world to the circle it illumines and excludes the rest.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God
