“Milagro Humano (El Soneto) Convertir el agua en vino no es un milagro, Solo significa que estás borracho. Compartir tu última gota de agua con alguien que tiene sed es el verdadero milagro. Sanar y ayudar son el mayor milagro, Incluso si requiere el sacrificio del yo. Un humano que ayuda a otro a sanar, es el verdadero milagro personificado. Así que despierta y trabaja, oh milagro humano, Corre hacia los indefensos como la lluvia monzónica. Lánzate a los pies de los olvidados, No hay mayor nobleza, ni mayor divinidad. Las oraciones no funcionan a menos que tú lo hagas. A todas las oraciones, somos la respuesta.”

“Soneto de Una Persona Religiosa Pasé años como cristiano, No encontré a Dios. Pasé años como musulmán, No encontré a Dios. Pasé años como hindú y sikh, Todavía no tenía ni idea. Pasé años como budista y ateo, Aún así no entendí nada. Hice oraciones, rituales, meditación, Nada de eso me trajo serenidad. Porque la serenidad ha estado siempre a los pies de la humanidad sufriente. Dejé todas las escrituras y me levanté como humano. El único signo de una persona religiosa es la amabilidad.”

“Well I want something to do, to create, to achieve, to whatever.... Something I can’t get enough of. You know something that I can't wait to get up in the morning to do something I can't get enough of, something that brings me joy and makes my heart sing. It could be anything, could be more than one thing but something that grabs me. Even a job, if it grabs me so that I could hardly wait to get there. Something that makes me feel good, allows me to be me, gives me freedom to grow and expand, something that grasps my heart, my joy, my excitement and leads me down the path to more joyful things, exciting challenges and challenging things. Barely stopping to take a breath I continued. Need a new journey a new destination, I want to grow to be or become, tread a new path, see what I haven't seen be what I haven't been ask what I haven't asked dare to what I haven't dared to . . . I don't even think it is so much a physical thing or mental it's just sort of un-learning some of what I learned It’s being happy, while I am happy but I want something to do that creates even more. (..) Doing it for the joy of doing it not for any other reason; also I want it from and un-edited creativity free flowing something… I have some things that seem very interesting and somehow just don’t feel right almost like I’m taking the wrong path and yet there are other things that I could be doing like writing but it seems that it does not feel good to sit and write but yet some part of me seems to love it and something in me hates it sort of like it could be the thing for me to do and yet it might not be.”
