Quote

Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.

Turning toward what you deeply love saves you
Rumi
Image
Live at the empty heart of paradox. I'll dance with you there, cheek to cheek.
Rumi
Image
The work of magic is this, that it breathes and at every breath transforms realities.
Rumi
Image
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
Image
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.
Rumi
Image
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Rumi
Image
This is enough was always true. We just haven't seen it.
Rumi
Image
To live without you is to be robbed of love and what is life without it? To live without you is death to me, my love but some call it life.
Rumi
Image
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
Image
In our hearts there burns a fire... That burns all veils to their root and foundation When those veils have been burned away Then the heart will understand completely. Ancient love will unfold ever-fresh forms In the heart of the Spirit, In the core of the heart.
Rumi
Image
A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe. What nine months of attention does for an embryo forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Rumi
Image
God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart. God gave you life and bestowed upon you his attributes eventually you will return to him. The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Rumi
Image
Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
Image
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
Image
There are many ways to the Divine. I have chosen the ways of song, dance, and laughter.
Rumi
Image
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
Image
We are all bathed in the same light.
Rumi
Image
Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.
Rumi
Image
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
Image
Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, the ones unadulterated with fear, or some urgency about what's needed.
Rumi
