“
There is no companion but love. The friend calls from there. Why hesitate when lives are in danger?
Gamble everything for love if you are a true human being. Half heartedness does not reach into the majesty.
You set out to find God, to find the divine, to find truth but you keep stopping for long periods at mean-spirited roadhouses.
Head out to sea; head out to sea even if your own mother warns you of the danger of the water. You’re a wild swan, you’re a wild swan, not some chicken to be kept in a stinking coop.
