The first step in love
is losing your head.

After the petty ego
you then give up your life
and bear the calamity.

With this behind you, proceed:
Polish the ego's rust
from the mirror
of your self.

~ Fakhr al-Din Iraqi
from Love's Alchemy

My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, 
within me, there’s something stronger – 
something better, pushing right back.

Truly yours,
Albert Camus

Those who are free Little different from
Those who are not, except that
They are no longer controlled by
Habit and reaction.
Wu Hsin

The events of the world
Do not impact Wu Hsin.
He is neither happy nor sad.
His happiness has a different aroma;
It is latent in his very being.
Wu Hsin

Ultimately, one does not get free.
Instead, one realizes that
One is freedom itself.
Wu Hsin
