This is a gathering of Lovers.
In this gathering
there is no high, no low,
no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly,
no grand discourse,
no proper schooling required.
There is no master,
no disciple.
This gathering is more like a drunken party,
full of tricksters, fools,
mad men and mad women.
This is a gathering of Lovers.

— Shahram Shiva Hush, Don't Say Anything to God (1999)

It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.

there is nothing that is not me.
Be silent.

When in Love,
body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.

Hush, Don't Say Anything to God (1999)

Even if you lose yourself in wrath
for a hundred thousand years,
at the end you will discover,
it is me, who is the culmination of your dreams.

Hush, Don't Say Anything to God (1999)

I always thought that
I was me — but no,
I was you
and never knew it.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
