Love means to look at yourself the way one looks at distant things
For you are only one thing among many.
And whoever sees that way heals his heart, without knowing it, from various ills –
A bird and a tree say to him: Friend
Czesław Miłosz, Polish poet
I will always have fears,
but I need not be my fears
because I have other places within myself
from which to speak and act

What is the difference
Between your experience of existence
And that of a saint?
The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a fantastic move
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, “I Surrender!”
Whereas, my dear,
I’m afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.

All of us have a secret desire to be seen as saints, heroes, martyrs.
We are afraid to be children, to be ourselves.
