I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.

You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?

An evil enemy will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.

In a world of smoke and ashes, you are milk and honey.

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.

People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.
