"When I was young, I asked my priest how you could get to heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world. He told me what God said to His children. "You are sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves."

-Gone Baby, Gone

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

I love you because I know no other way than this:

Where “I” does not exist, nor “You”,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that when you close your eyes

I fall asleep."

Discovering this idyllic place, we find ourselves filled with a

yearning to linger here, where time stands still and beauty

overwhelms.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

-Lao Tzu

What am I

if others can't see you

within me?

A mouth

without a voice,

A match

without a spark.

What's a tree,

hollow within?

A dwelling place

for whatever comes,

whatever passes by.

You see the dEpThS of my heart and You love me the same...

I'm not a stranger in the hAnDs of the maker...

-Dave Matthews
