Fish love the ocean. Snakes move like earth-fish inside a mountain,well away from seawater. Certain sunfish,though,turn snakes into ocean lovers.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Rumi
Image
Be quiet now and wait. It may be that the ocean one, the one we desire so to move into and become, desires us out here on land a little longer, going our sundry roads to the shore.
Rumi
Image
You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.

It is Love and the Lover that live eternally - Don't lend your heart to anything else all else is borrowed.
Rumi
Image
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
Rumi
Image
This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.
Rumi

The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
Rumi
Image
Rush out in the rain to be soaked with the sky.
Rumi
Image
How can I know anything about the past or the future, when the light of the Beloved shines only Now.
Rumi
Image
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Image
The lion who breaks the enemy's ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.
Rumi
Image
How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.
Rumi
Image
For those who realize that everything is from God, everything is the same.
Rumi
Image
Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.
Rumi
