Poetry comes out of an elite experience, the experience of people whose ears are opened to the song of the universe.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
