• What Happens
  
  What happens when your soul
  Begins to awaken
  Your eyes
  And your heart
  And the cells of your body
  To the great Journey of Love?
  
  First there is wonderful laughter
  And probably precious tears
  
  And a hundred sweet promises
  And those heroic vows
  No one can ever keep.
  
  But still God is delighted and amused
  You once tried to be a saint.
  
  What happens when your soul
  Begins to awake in this world
  
  To our deep need to love
  And serve the Friend?
  
  O the Beloved
  Will send you
  One of His wonderful, wild companions -
  
  Like Hafiz.

  Hafez

• The beauty is forever there before us, forever piping to us, and we are forever failing to dance. We could not help but dance if we could see things as they really are. Then we should kiss both hands to Fate and fling our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls into life with a glorious abandonment, an extravagant, delighted loyalty, knowing that our wildest enthusiasm cannot more than brush the hem of the real beauty and joy and wonder that are always there.

• I am pleased with the race and happy with fourth position. It was a real shame for the team that Felipe had an issue at the start. It was a lonely race but the final 20 laps were very tough. Sebastian was quicker than me, and closed up behind very fast, but the fight was really good fun. I know a few tricks that can really help to defend and they all worked today, and I am delighted to come out on top today.
