How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.

Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring.

Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there.
Empathy is even better than talking in one language

Join the community of saints and know the delight of your own Soul. Enter the ruins of your Heart and Learn the Meaning of Humility.

The drum of the realization of the promise is beating, we are sweeping the road to the sky. Your joy is here today, what remains for tomorrow?

The wine of this fleeting world caused your head to ache.
