""At night I dream that you and I are two plants
 that grew together, roots entwined,
 and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth,
 since we are made of earth and rain."
  -- Pablo Neruda, Regalo de un Poeta

"There's a lovely Hasidic story of a rabbi who always told his people that if they studied the Torah, it would put Scripture on their hearts. One of them asked, 'Why on our hearts, and not in them?' The rabbi answered, 'Only God can put Scripture inside. But reading sacred text can put it on your heart, and then when your hearts break, the holy words will fall inside.'" -- Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith
