“We have not come her to take prisoners,

but to surrender ever more deeply

To freedom and joy.

We have not come into this exquisite world To hold ourselves

hostages from love.

Run my dear, From anything

That may not strengthen

Your precious budding wings.

Run like hell my dear,

From anyone likely To put a sharp knife

Into the sacred, tender vision Of your beautiful heart.

For we have not come here to take prisoners

Or to confine our wondrous spirits,

But to experience ever and ever more deeply

Our divine courage, freedom and Light!”

— “We Have Not Come Here To Take Prisoners.”  – Hafiz
