Sometimes, by letting go.

we allow some grace to enter

by another channel,

which all our mental efforts

have hitherto kept out.

Stillness is a quality of the heart.

We must not expect to find it

among the doubts of the mind.

It is the mind which must make way for it.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; 
what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Marsilio Ficino

"These celestial bodies are not to be sought by us

 outside in some other place;

 for the heavens in their entirety are within us,

 in whom the light of life

 and the origin of heaven dwell."


-- Marsilio Ficino

Rumi

"Open a window towards God and breathe.

Delight yourself

with what comes through that opening.

The work of love is to create a window in the heart,

for the breast is illuminated

by the beauty of the Beloved."
