The cave you fear to enter

Holds the treasure you are looking for.

- Joseph Campbell

The soul always knows

What to do to heal itself.
The challenge is to silence the mind.

Caroline Myss

What if

What if there was no line?
Nothing wrong, nothing right.
What if there was no time?
And no reason or rhyme.
What if you should decide, that you don't want me there by your side.
That you don't want me there in your life.

What if I got it wrong, and no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide that you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life.

Oooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try
Oooh, that's right

Every step that you take could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side.

Oooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Oooh, that's right

(lyrics by Guy Rupert Berryman, William Champion)

The jewel has been lost in matter

And everybody is looking for it.
Some look for it in the east and some in the west,
Some in water and some among stones.
But the servant Kabir has found its value and has it wrapped with care in the seam of the mantle of his heart.

- Rabindranath Tagore, Kabir

Princess of China

Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying, "Fast as I can"
I got to go
I got to go

Once upon a time we fell apart
You're holding in your hands
The two halves of my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Once upon a time we're burning bright
That all we ever seemed to do is fight
On and on
And on and on and on

Once upon a time on the same side
Once upon a time on the same side
In the same game, now why'd you have to go
Have to go and throw it all in my flame

Could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no, you let me go
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring,
But no, you let me go

Stole my star
You stole my star
Cause you really hurt me
Oh, you really hurt me


(lyrics by Christopher Anthony, John Martin)

Forgotten in Wonderland

Do you remember me...?

He who would

share your pleasure but not your pain shall lose the key to one of the seven gates of Paradise...

- Kahlil Gibran
