• The state of interbeing is a vulnerable state. It is the vulnerability of the naive altruist, of the trusting lover, of the unguarded sharer. To enter it, one must leave behind the seeming shelter of a control-based life, protected by walls of cynicism, judgment, and blame.

• If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

• Un árbol está vivo y, por tanto, siempre es más de lo que se ve. De las raíces a las hojas, sí, eso se puede ver en parte. Pero es más: son los líquenes, el musgo y los helechos que crecen en su corteza, la vida demasiado pequeña para verla que vive entre sus raíces, una comunidad que conocemos, pero en la que no pensamos. Son todas las moscas, abejas y escarabajos que lo utilizan como refugio o alimento, todos los pájaros que anidan en sus ramas. Cada uno es un individuo y, sin embargo, cada uno forma parte del árbol, y el árbol forma parte de cada uno.

• The light died in the low clouds. Falling snow drank in the dusk. Shrouded in silence, the branches wrapped me in their peace. When the boundaries were erased, once again the wonder: that *I* exist.

• When the sense of the earth unites with the sense of one's body, one becomes earth of the earth, a plant among plants, an animal born from the soil and fertilizing it. In this union, the body is confirmed in its pantheism.

• In a dream I walked with God through the deep places of creation; past walls that receded and gates that opened through hall after hall of silence, darkness and refreshment--the dwelling place of souls acquainted with light and warmth--until, around me, was an infinity into which we all flowed together and lived anew, like the rings made by raindrops falling upon wide expanses of calm dark waters.
