Those doing soul work, who want the searing truth more than solace or applause, know each other right away. Those who want something else turn and take a seat in another room. Soul-makers find each other’s company.

There is some kiss we want with the whole of our lives.
Rumi
Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.

Rumi
Poems are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi

Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
Rumi
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.
Rumi
Joy lives concealed in grief.
Rumi
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.

Rumi
Live in the nowhere that you come from even though you have got an address Here.
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
Rumi
Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon.
Rumi
