Oh disciple of love, open your eyes,look to the face of the land.See these subtle plants, how their flowering passes.
With such care they grow toward the Friend -ask them what goal they have in mind.
Each flower has a thousand ways it flirts with Truth.Every bird with its song is remembering the Ruler.
They praise His Ability, His Presence in every detail,yes, and as they see the shortness of life, they pale.
Each day their colour changes,until they fall to the ground.This is a teaching for the wise to understand.
Your coming doesn’t lead anywhere.Your laughter isn’t funny.Your only destination is death,if you haven’t learned to love.
Yunus, forget about talking,take your hand off your self. What can you do?Not a single thing, good or bad, is apart from God.

Love is reckless
Love is reckless; not reason.
Reason seeks a profit.
Love comes on strong,
consuming herself, unabashed.
Yet, in the midst of suffering,
Love proceeds like a millstone,
hard surfaced and straightforward.
Having died of self-interest,
she risks everything and asks for nothing.
Love gambles away every gift God bestows.
Without cause God gave us Being;
without cause, give it back again.
