Rumi
You are the fountain of the sun. I'm the shadow of a willow. You fall upon my forehead. I melt. You slip into my heart. It spills open. You surround me with such sweetness. I make it my home.
Rumi
You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop.

Rumi
Enough of words. Come to me without a sound.
Rumi
Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.
Rumi
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Rumi
I don’t know why when I look at you, I see myself
Rumi
For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
Rumi
Love, the supreme musician, is always playing in our souls
Rumi
Ground yourself, strip yourself down, To blind loving Silence
Rumi
I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Ways of worshipping are not to be ranked as better or worse than one another . . . It's all praise, and it's all right.
Rumi
