...reflections...

I am a changing, multiform life of immense prodigious size.
~St. Augustine




I love the dark hours of my being
In which my senses drop into the deep.
I have found in them, as in old letters,
my private life that is already lived through,
and become wide and powerful now, like
legends.  Then I know that there is room

in me for a second huge and timeless life.

~Rainer Maria Rilke




Man walks through forests of physical things that
are also spiritual things,
that watch him affectionately.
~Charles Baudelaire.




Delusion happens when we see all that is

from the viewpoint of the self.

Enlightenment happens when we see ourselves
from the viewpoint of the things in nature.
~Dogen Zenji




I saw light gleaming in the unseen.
I gazed at it continually,
until the time came when
I had wholly become that light.
~Abu'life-Hosain al-Nuri
