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.

Image
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
Rumi
Image
Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.
Rumi
Image
Let yourself be loved, O Beloved, in the One. And from this One move out into the world, carrying within you the great potent energies of life to green your world, to create planets, suns, stars, stones, waves, oceans, to create new forms of life and expression - whether a friendship, a feeling or a new form of vocation.
Rumi
Image
I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
Rumi
Image
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Rumi
Image
Your way begins at the other side. Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. Walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now.
Rumi
Image
Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labor will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, 'welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Rumi
Image
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
Image
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.
Rumi
Image
Poverty is not for the sake of hardship. No, it is there because nothing exists but Allah. Poverty unlocks the door - what a blessed key!
Rumi
Image
I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
Rumi
Image
You are as you are, an indescribable message on the air.
Rumi
Image
That's how you came here, like a star without a name. Move across the night sky with those anonymous lights.
Rumi
Image
Dance when you're perfectly free.
Rumi
Image
There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love, itself.
Rumi
Image
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
Rumi
Image
Indeed envy is a defect worse than any other.
Rumi
Image
God writes spiritual Mysteries on our heart, where they wait silently for discovery.
Rumi
Image
If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.
Rumi
Image
O, Great Spirit, open my eyes, open heart's wings, open my ears to your voice in all things.
