Stray Birds

• The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal.
• If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars.
• Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
• What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.
• God expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun and the earth.
• Oh beauty,i find thyself in love,not in the flattery of thy mirror.
• Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world , and its worth by the claims of love.
• You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
• Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near. The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart.
• God grows weary of great kingdoms,but never of little flowers.
• He who wants to do good knocks at the gate:he who loves finds the gate open.
• Power said to the world "you are mine". The world kept it prisoner on her throne. Love said to the world," I am thine". The world gave it the freedom of her house.
• "In the moon thou send est thy love letters to me," said the night to the sun."I leave my answers in tears upon the grass".
• The leaf becomes flower when it loves,the flower becomes fruit when it worships.
• God's great power is in the gentle breeze, not in the storm.
• I have dipped the vessel of my heart into this silent hour,it has filled with love.
• The water in the vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words that are clear; the great truth has great silence.
• Let this be my last word,that I trust in thy Love.
• When all the strings of my life will be turned,my master,then at every touch of thine will come out the music of love.
• Thy sunshine smiles upon the winter days of my heart, never doubting of its spring flowers.
• Sweetness of thy name fills my heart when I forget mine-like thy morning sun when the mist is melted.
• When I stand before thee at the day's end thou shalt see my scars and know that i had my wounds and also my healing.
• Love is life in its fullness like the cup with its wine.
• I have learnt the simple meaning of thy whispers in flowers and sunshine-teach me to know thy words in pain and death.
• I do not ask thee into the house. Come into my infinite loneliness,my lover.
• Make me thy cup and let my fullness be for thee and for thine.
• Thou hast led me through my crowded travels of the day to my evening's loneliness. I wait for its meaning through the stillness of the night.
• How may I sing to thee and worship,O sun?Asked the little flower."By the simple silence of thy purity",answered the sun.
