if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
Rumi
Image
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness. We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox is stuffed full of anything, no music.... When you're full of food and drink, Satan sits where your spirit should.
Rumi
Image
I have no name for what circles so perfectly.
Rumi
Image
There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.
Rumi
Image
Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.
Rumi
Image
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
Image
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions. Too often we put the saddlebags on Jesus and let the donkey run loose in the pasture.
Rumi
Image
I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.
Rumi
Image
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
Rumi
Image
I open and fill with LOVE and what is not LOVE ... evaporates!
Rumi
Image
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
Image
Don't allow your animal nature to rule your reason.
Rumi
Image
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
Image
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.
Rumi
Image
Love has come to rule and transform Stay awake, my heart, stay awake.
Rumi
Image
My heart rushes into the garden, joyfully tasting all the delights. But reason frowns, disapproving of the heart's bad manners.
Rumi
Image
Be motivated like the falcon, hunt gloriously. Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win. Spend less time with nightingales and peacocks. One is all talk, the other only color.
Rumi
Image
You had better run from me. My words are fire.
Rumi
Image
Prayer clears the mist and brings back peace to the Soul . . .
Rumi
Image
Intellect in its effort to explain Love got stuck in the mud like an ass. Love alone could explain love and loving.
Rumi
