My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.

Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.

Be like melting snow - wash yourself of yourself.

Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror up to where you're bravely working. Expecting the worst, you look, and instead,here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
