Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.

More quotes by Rumi
The radiant one in me has never said a word.
Rumi
I want to be where your bare foot walks, because maybe before you step, you'll look at the ground. I want that blessing
Rumi
I want that love that moved the mountains. I want that love that split the ocean. I want that love that made the winds tremble. I want that love that roared like thunder. I want that love that will raise the dead. I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy. I want that love that is the silence of eternity.
Rumi
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi

Rumi

Rumi
My religion is to be alive from LOVE.
Rumi
Give your life to the one who already owns your breath and your moments.
Rumi
There’s a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance.
Rumi
The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.
Rumi
Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.

But learn this custom from the flower: silence your tongue.
