We were green: we ripened and grew golden. The Sea terrified us: we learned how to drown. Squat and earthbound, we unfolded huge wings. We started sober: are love's startled drunkards. You hide me in your cloak of nothingness Reflect my ghost in your glass of being I am nothing, yet appear: transparent dream Where your eternity briefly trembles.
RumiWhoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises
RumiOur purpose here on earth: to manifest the very nature of our spirit, which is touched by the spirit of God.
Rumi
