“Divine Threads of Light Sometimes, God doesn't arrive as an answer, but as a question that tears you in two—stitching you back with threads of light. Life doesn't belong to you. You belong to life—and that's the first true freedom.”

“The Light That Remains No more void, nor silence, nor desire to kindle. All burns without flame— a gentle sun within, that neither seeks nor proves, only breathes. Words have melted into light, and light has grown simple— a sort of peace that claims no name. There, even shadow is tender, even silence wears a face. Nothing left to utter, yet all is heard.”

“The Bottomless Void I am seized by a longing to dwell in the bottomless void, where weight plummets, and the heart ascends.

I think this is what happens: you suddenly feel that time is passing, that each instant leads to another, this one to another one, and so on; that each instant is annihilated, and that it isn’t worth while to hold it back, etc., etc. (. . .) If I remember correctly, they call that the irreversibility of time.”
