Stray Birds(78-84)

78. The grass seeks her crowd in the earth.  The tree seeks his solitude of the sky.

79. Man barricades against himself.

80. Your voice, my friend, wanders in my heart, like the muffled sound of the sea among these listening pines.

81. What is this unseen flame of darkness whose sparks are the stars?

82. Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

83. He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.

84. In death the many becomes one; in life the one becomes many.  Religion will be one when God is dead.
