Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.

Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets. Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to The King. Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship. Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business. Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
Rumi

Rumi
Image
For hundreds of thousands of years I have been dust-grains floating and flying in the will of the air, often forgetting ever being in that state, but in sleep I migrate back.
Rumi
Image
The beginning of pride and hatred lies in worldly desire, and the strength of your desire if from habit. When an evil tendency becomes confirmed by habit, rage is triggered when anyone restrains you.
Rumi

If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.
Rumi

Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
