• The emergence and blossoming of understanding, love, and intelligence has nothing to do with any tradition, no matter how ancient or impressive-it has nothing to do with time. It happens on its own when a human being questions, wonders, inquires, listens, and looks without getting stuck in fear, pleasure, and pain. When self-concern is quiet, in abeyance, heaven and earth are open.

• Mine is the Month of Roses; yes, and mine
  The Month of Marriages! All pleasant sights
  And scents, the fragrance of the blossoming vine,
  The foliage of the valleys and the heights.
  Mine are the longest days, the loveliest nights;
  The mower's scythe makes music to my ear;
  I am the mother of all dear delights;
  I am the fairest daughter of the year.
