Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.

Rumi

Rumi
We can't help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water. Milk drinkers draw close to the mother. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, shamans, everyone hears the intelligent sound and moves with thirst to meet it.
Rumi
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
Rumi
I am sunlight slicing the dark.
Rumi
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Rumi
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
Today, let us swim wildly, joyously in gratitude.
