I don't want learning, or dignity, or respectability. I want this music, and this dawn, and the warmth of your cheek against mine.
RumiIf you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy. Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist โ Do not go in the direction of darkness โ I tell you: suns exist.
Rumi
