Travelers, it is late. Life's sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings
RumiBe like a river in generosity and giving help. Be like a sun in tenderness and pity. Be like night when covering other's faults. Be like a dead when furious and angry. Be like earth in modesty and humbleness. Be like a sea in tolerance. Be as you are or as you look like.
RumiYou could string a hundred endless days together, My soul would find no comfort from this pain. You laugh at my tale? You may be educated But you havenโt learned to love till youโre insane
RumiTHIS TORTURE Why should we tell you our love stories when you spill them together like blood in the dirt? Love is a pearl lost on the ocean floor, or a fire we canโt see, but how does saying that push us through the top of the head into the light above the head? Love is not an iron pot, so this boiling energy wonโt help. Soul, heart, self. Beyond and within those is one saying, How long before Iโm free of this torture!
Rumi
