Go tell the earth to shake
And tell the thunder to wake the skyAnd tear the clouds apart
Tell my people to come out and wonder
Where the old world has gone.
For a new world is born
And all my people shall be one

So tell the earth to shake
With marching feet
Of messengers of peace
Proclaim my law of love
To every nation
To every race

For the old ways are over
The old days are gone
A new world is rising
Where my people shall be one

So tell the earth to shake
With marching feet
Of messengers of peace
Proclaim my law of love
To every nation
Every race

- Miguel Ruiz

Those who understand this and practice it live in freedom.

-Khalil Gibran
‍

Do not reduce yourself
to anything less than
who you are meant to be,
so that your heart will not engulf people
who are not meant to survive
within its vastness.

The unworthy may drown,
but the worthy will learn how to swim.

-Emira GasÞar-Vrane

It's enough on this twisting mountain road to simply stop.
Clearwater cascades thin down rock
startling admiration
white cloud swells of itself
across ridgelines East and West
and who knows if the lake's bright moon
is above or below?
It's the season
black and yellow millet both begin to ripen.
Oranges, red and green,
halfway into such lovely sweetness.  

All this joy in our lives- what is it but heaven's great gift?
Why confuse the children with all our fine explanations?

-Su Tung-Pó

Think that you're gliding out from the face of a cliff like an eagle.
Think you’re walking like a tiger walks by himself in the forest.
You're most handsome when you're after food.

Spend less time with the nightingales and peacocks.
One is just a voice, the other is just a color.

-Rumi
