WAKE UP

“Wake up.
If your eyes are sleeping
then wipe them gently.
You need to be awake for this.
It is a matter of life and death.

Wake up!
If your mind is sleeping
then shake it quickly.
You need to be awake for this.
It is a matter of life and death.

Wake up, I said!
If your heart is sleeping
then beat your chest!
You need to be awake for life!
You need to be awake for love!
It is a matter of living and being alive.”

Kamand Kojouri

IF
you wait until you find
something appropriate
to speak up for,
something convenient
that directly concerns you
and attacks your beliefs,

THEN
eventually,
when the day arrives,
you might also find
you have forgotten
how to s p e a k.”

Kamand Kojouri

“If on any given day you don’t cry from rejoicing in the beauty of the world, then you have not lived that day.”

“God begets love.”

“What happens when I love,
you ask, does the world start
making sense?
No, my dear, it does not.
But it won’t matter to you then.”

Kamand Kojouri

IF TODAY

“If today is not your day,
then be happy
for this day shall never return.
And if today is your day,
then be happy now
for this day shall never return.”

Kamand Kojouri

“In the beginning was love, and love was with God, and love was God.”
