Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
“You owe me.”
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.
~ Hafiz

Again and Again
[Again and again, however we know the landscape of love]
By Rainer Maria Rilke
Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky.

In Your Heart
In Your Heart Everything is in you, in your heart. Buddha is in your heart. Enlightenment is in your heart. All (enlightened) qualities are in your heart. They are not found anywhere else.
