rebirth, excerpt

   

Riitta Ikonen

 

.

We are like the spider. 

We weave our life and then move along in it. 

We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream.  

This is true for the entire universe.

—The Upanishads

.

In our souls everything

moves guided by a mysterious hand.

We know nothing of our own souls
that are ununderstandable and say nothing.

The deepest words
of the wise man teach us 
the same as the whistle of the wind when it blows
or the sound of the water when it is flowing.


—Antonio Machado

  

.

Start seeing everything as God,

But keep it a secret.

—Hafiz
