I Am Not From East

A New Moon Teaches Gradualness And Deliberation And How One Gives Birth To Oneself Slowly. Patience With Small Details Makes Perfect A Large Work, Like The Universe. What Nine Months Of Attention Does For An Embryo Forty Early Mornings Will Do For Your Gradually Growing Wholeness

Those Loves Which Are For The Sake Of A Colour Are Not Love. In The End They Are A Disgrace.

Come Into My Eyes, And Look At Me Through Them, For I Have Chosen A Home Far Beyond What Eyes Can See.

Die Happily And Look Forward To Taking Up A New And Better Form. Like The Sun, Only When You Set In The West Can You Rise In The East.

If I Gaze At My Beloved She May Feel Embarrassed And If I Do Not, She Will Feel Neglected. I Can See The Stars Reflecting In The Calm Water Of Her Face But If I Look Away I Lose My Clarity.
