I have been so naughted in Thy Love's existence that my nonexistence is a thousand times sweeter than my existence
RumiWhether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
RumiYou left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.
Rumi
