" May I be a pillar
on which upon you stand,
a leaning post for young ones,
my lover and my friend.
May I be a beam of light that you bestow upon
your hopes, your dreams, your wisdom,
so we may carry on.
May I be a beacon,
a tree with roots so strong,
treetop spreading high and wide,
a trunk so wide and long.
May I be your music
a flute for you to play
whatever you desire
with each forthcoming day.
May I lose myself to find you,
support all those who need
my love, my core, my laughter,
permeate my every deed. "

" What is my goal,
what is my task,
what is my path through life?
Must be this trail
I thread upon,
bringing hope to strife ...
I was born with memory
of the future world,
the one of love and reverie,
the one that once got sold ...
I cried and shrieked,
a little girl,
when losing sight of you,
disbelief at desert land
that I was to walk through.
Rivers, they again will flow,
skies just open roads,
hearts of men again will glow,
light-immersed abodes. "

" There is no Source above, away,
distant from your form,
awaken from this dream you've had
since the day you're born
The Truth is that there is no "you" ,
no place away that's "home",
you are the Source,
condensed and shaped
into a grosser form
Your breath is Aum,
it births new worlds,
new miracles, new ways,
depending on the way your heart
vibrates, how much it weighs
You are the prayer
and response,
for only what you feel
will come to life, will manifest,
your thought will make it real
The home is here,
you are the Source,
stop asking from outside,
step into the Truth you are
let opposites collide "

" Everything we are,
nothing is really ever given to us.
We work for it.
We face our fears,
we walk against the wind,
we lose everything, again and again,
sometimes denied or betrayed
by the people that matter to us most.
We build and have it all taken away,
just to build it anew, from scratch.
Nothing of this world is every really gifted to us,
but if we hold on to the only gift that truly matters,
the will to live our life according to our soul's calling,
the Faith that there's something more to this life,
we find meaning in us being here.
We try to adjust, to fit in, to please,
but it always leads us back to ourselves,
back to what is True for us.
We are who we are,
we love what we love,
and that is the greatest gift we have.
The greatest gift we have to give. "

" Manifestation of life we desire
can easily be compared to sowing seeds.
A seed sprouts depending on whether it has been thrown
into a fertile ground or sand,
and the same goes for our soul's desire.
For the seeds to sprout and grow,
they need a healthy, fertile land, without unnecessary ballast,
which on the level of the mind are the outlived patterns, fears
and limitations we have taken upon ourselves as our own.
Just like the farmer ploughs his field and enriches the soil,
it is up to us to maintain the best possible conditions
for the sprouting and development of our being.
Let us remove the rocks and sand from our field,
maintain the fertile soil,
devote the time to caring for our spirit and mind,
and our field of life will prosper in abundance. "
