Quote

This is not a day for asking questions, not a day on any calendar. This day is conscious of itself. This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness, more manifest than saying can say.

Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
Image
You could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane
Rumi
Image
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, 'It tastes sweet, does it not?' 'You've caught me,' grief answered, 'and you've ruined my business. How can I sell sorrow, when you know it's a blessing?
Rumi
Image
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
Rumi
Image
Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring at the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.
Rumi
Image
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
Image
If you # love love, look for yourself.
Rumi
Image
Dive today from the cliff of what you know into what you can't know.
Rumi
Image
Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.
Rumi
Image
If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.
Rumi
Image
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now, Be all – worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance, Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares – Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
Rumi
Image
It is Love that gives joy to happiness.
Rumi
Image
How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.
Rumi
Image
Let people catch something from your heart that will cause no discomfort, but help them to sing.
Rumi
Image
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
Rumi
Image
I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The Soul calls from within me: 'You, ignorant of the way of Love, set Me free.'
Rumi
Image
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
Rumi
Image
Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen!
Rumi
Image
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
Rumi
Image
The thirsty look for water, but water also looks for thirsty.
Rumi
