Carolina QuotesHe says, "There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight."This is how Hallaj said, I am God, and told the truth!The ruby and the sunrise are one. Be courageous and discipline yourself.Completely become hearing and ear, and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.
Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
