Sometimes I Do
"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 light becomes this art."
~ Rumi

Unless we clap hands together in unison, we shall Not stamp feet in joy upon the head of sorrow.
Let us drink a morning cup before the hour of dawn, For this dawn will often break when we no longer
Breathe.
~ Omar Khayam

". . .your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.. "
~ Rumi

"If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left, Sell one, and with the dole Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul." - Moslih Eddin Saadi (Sadi), Gulistan (Garden of Roses)

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

"Softly, deftly, music shall caress you. Hear it, feel it, Secretly possess you."
~ Andrew Lloyd Webber

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah. . .
~ Leonard Cohen
