HA214. My eyes can no longer hide the wondrous fact of who you really are.	HA213. Awake my dear. Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out into the vast field of light and let it breathe.	HA205. The heart is a thousand stringed instrument that can only be tuned with love.	HA215. Know the true nature of your Beloved. In her loving eyes your every thought, word and movement is always - always beautiful.	HA217. What is this great love and laughter building in our hearts? It is the glorious feeling and sound of a soul waking up.
HA207. This place where you are right now god circled on a map for you.	.HA202. God is not hiding. It is just a game he playslike a child. He ran off one night carrying something we want. I keep hearing him shout, "Catch me."	HA218. God playing a game of tag has kissed us and said, "You're it. I mean you are - REALLY IT."	HA203. One day the sun admitted. I am just a shadow. I wish I could show you the Infinite Incandescence that has cast my brilliant image.	HA206. When all your desires are distilled you will cast just two votes: To love more, and be happy.
HA224. When I bring my heart close to any object, I hear God say, "You found me."	HA211. God courts us with the beauty of this world.	HA220. God is never confused and can only see himsel in you.	HA209. One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.	HA210. As soom as you opened your mouth and I heard your soft sounds, I knewwe would be friends.
HA219. Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude for life. Join my eyes and soul in their divine applause.	HA222. Because the one I love lives inside of you, I will always lean as close to your body as I can.	HA229. Because there is nothing besides God's body, I try to show reverence for all things.	HA212. There are so many gifts still unopened from your birthday, there are so many hand crafted presents that have been sent to your by God. The Beloved does not mind repeating, "Everything I have is also yours."	HA208. I a hunger comes into your body I will run to my soul's garden and bring you heavens and earths
HA226. My dear how can I be more loving to you; how can I be more kind?	HA225. The Beloved with his own hands is tending, raising like a porecious child, Himself in you.	HA227. Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me." Look what happens with love like that - it lights the whole world.	HA230 And love says I will. I will take care of you.	HA221.Plant so that your own heart will grow. Sing for this is a food that our world so needs. And laugh because that is the purest sound.
HA240. Now is the time to understand that all your ideas of right and wrong were just a child's turning wheels to be laid aside when yo can finally live with veracity and love.	HA245.Yours is the heart I care for most in this world.	HA238. Now is the time to know that all you do is sacred.	HAHA244. No greater wings are there than love.	HA242. Upon waking each day my first words to my heart always are " Tell me all your news of love."
		These last nine cards are new for 2008.
HA239. Stay close to any sounds that make you glad to be alive.	HA246. Light will someday split you open even if your life is now a cage, for a divine seed, the crown of destiny, is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain you hold the title to.		HA2451. You carry all the ingredients to turn your existence into joy. Mix them, mix them.	HA243. Something has happened to my understanding of existence that now makes my heart always full of wonder.
