Snips

For a dervish every day feels like Friday, the beginning of a holiday, a fresh setting out that will not have an end. Dressed in the soul's handsomeness, you're a whole month of Fridays, sweet outside, sweet in. Your mind and your deep being walk together as friends walk along inside their friendship. Debris does not stay in one place on a fast-running creek. Let grudges wash out into the sea. Your soul's eye watches a spring-green branch moving, while these other eyes love the old stories.
~ Rumi

"My soul is the bridge between spirit and body and, as such, is a uniter of opposites. Without soul at center, I would either transcend into spirit or become mired in matter."
~ Marion Woodman

The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.
~E. E. Cummings

"Ego is not Self, it just pretends to be. Without ego, there's still someone who likes chocolates or avoids cooked carrots, who cusses up a storm or speaks very gently, still someone who represents a unique snowflake of God's power operating through one individuated form."
~Bo Lozoff
