Thoughts pass in my mind like flocks of ducks in the sky.
I hear the voice of their wings.
166
The canal loves to think that rivers exist solely to supply it with water.
167
The world has kissed my soul with its pain, asking for its return in songs.
168
That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open, or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance?
169
Thought feeds itself with its own words and grows.
170
I have dipped the vessel of my heart into this silent hour; it has filled with love.
171
Either you have work or you have not. When you have to say, “Let us do something,” then begins mischief.
172
The sunflower blushed to own the nameless flower as her kin.
The sun rose and smiled on it, saying, “Are you well, my darling?”
173
“Who drives me forward like fate?”
“The Myself striding on my back.”
174
The clouds fill the watercups of the river, hiding themselves in the distant hills.
175
I spill water from my water jar as I walk on my way,
Very little remains for my home.
176
The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words that are clear; the great truth has great silence.
177
Your smile was the flowers of your own fields, your talk was the rustle of your own mountain pines, but your heart was the woman that we all know.
178
It is the little things that I leave behind for my loved ones,—great things are for everyone.
179
Woman, thou hast encircled the world’s heart with the depth of thy tears as the sea has the earth.
180
The sunshine greets me with a smile.
The rain, his sad sister, talks to me
181
My flower of the day dropped its petals forgotten.
In the evening it ripens into a golden fruit of memory.
182
I am like the road in the night listening to the footfalls of its memories in silence.
183
The evening sky to me is like a window, and a lighted lamp, and a waiting behind it.
184
He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
185
I am the autumn cloud, empty of rain, see my fulness in the field of ripened rice.
186
They hated and killed and men praised them.
But God in shame hastens to hide its memory under the green grass.
187
Toes are the fingers that have forsaken their past.
188
Darkness travels towards light, but blindness towards death.
189
The pet dog suspects the universe for scheming to take its place.
190
Sit still my heart, do not raise your dust.
Let the world find its way to you.
191
The bow whispers to the arrow before it speeds forth—”Your freedom is mine.”
192
Woman, in your laughter you have the music of the fountain of life.
193
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade.
It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
194
God loves man’s lamp lights better than his own great stars.
195
This world is the world of wild storms kept tame with the music of beauty.
196
“My heart is like the golden casket of thy kiss,” said the sunset cloud to the sun.
