"A life lived with kindness and compassion for all living beings, a life which does not abuse the gifts of heaven. ...."

"The human body, at peace with itself,
Is more precious than the rarest gem
All worldly things are brief, like lighting in the sky

A thing of beauty that disappears even as it comes into being"
